On the Bench

Spring 2026

2026 has proved to be challenging both in my business and personal life. But from those challenges I've learned to pivot and enjoy every day for the gift it is.

One of those business challenges has been the increasing price of gold and silver. What a time to be a jeweler (said with a good dose of sarcasm). The cost of findings have easily doubled. And gold? Let's just say that I won't be purchasing any gold in the foreseeable future.

But brass is something that I am buying and using happily. Pictured above are my 'chaingle' bracelets. Square stock, brushed brass paired with a hand fabricated sterling silver chain. It's half bangle and half link bracelet. Handsome, modern, unisex, and just what every bracelet collector needs.

Find these on the website late April.

Spring 2025

I’m still trying to find my new normal and daily rhythm since I closed the brick and mortar shop in July 2023. I certainly have more time at the bench to experiment and create. And more time for family and self-care.  That has been a blessing.

I also began working with wax again and am contemplating building a wholesale collection. I’ll know more about that direction in late May.

This summer, I’ll be vending at Waterfall Arts’ Art Market on Fridays from 9am to 1pm. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter or follow me on Instagram for specific dates.

Lastly, you can find a selection of my work at The Arctic Tern Books in Rockland, Maine. This is a must visit brick and mortar….beautifully curated, thoughtful gifts, and jewelry, of course.
