Hindu & Malas: My Devotional and Mala jewelry collections were inspired by my yoga practice and my love of ethnic jewelry. In these pieces I aim to preserve the symbolism of Hindu jewelry while providing more of a fine jewelry aesthetic (precious metals and precious stones) and a contemporary scale than what is currently on the market. The stories behind the Hindu motifs depicted in these pieces are my pleasure to share with the wearer.

With the exception of the Ganesha necklace and the Eye of Shiva Ring, all of my Hindu pieces are one-of-a-kind.

Although my design direction these days is shifting toward Art Jewelry I will always make malas for the sheer meditative joy of beading and knotting them. I hope you continue to look for them here.

Art Jewelry: In these collections, you will see unique clasps, woven metals, fabric and unusual color combinations. Many of the (Chain) pieces reflect my early love, sewing, and my keen interest in mechanisms, in particular, clasps, (Lasoo) that function as both clasp and ornament. I am a collector of Modernist 20th Century jewelry and the exquisite simplicity of many of these pieces in my personal collection has inspired me as well. My pieces are meant to be worn, and I take great care to ensure that they are comfortable to wear...definitely not art for art's sake!
