My line of Steampunk inspired cuffs are bold couture. These leather accessories make a statement. Each cuff is custom made in my studio with natural components. This cuff started with a gorgeous chocolate brown and deep burnt orange python leather. This is amazingly patterned leather with a great hand feel.

The cuff is unisex – measuring 8.5 x 3 inches  (7 inch wrist) – I can custom make these cuffs to your exact measurements – and embellish them with brass and chain pieces that suit your unique style. Just send me a convo about creating a custom piece for you.

This cuff is embellished with 3 silver and copper colored bullet accents and lengths of copper and gunmetal chain. Silver tone snap closures make this a secure cuff to wear. Leather cuffs are hot right now – check out your favorite Celbs and see who is sporting these statement making accessories – everyone from Emma Watson to J-lo is wearing them.

Culture Clash


Seemingly delicate and light – this piece is a blending of feminine and strength like you’ve never seen before! The lighter chains used in this piece are strung with bullets and pearls – a true culture clash for you. This is not for the demure or shy! You will get comments on this piece!

Vintage copper chains and filigree leaf from the 1920’s make this piece an instant collector’s item. Interspersed are also newer chains and glass pearls. The rope of glass pearls at the neckline is a mix of lightly patina coated gold and copper tones in multiple sizes.

A OOAK necklace, the chains swing an amazing 18 inches from the clasp for that luxurious focal look – this isn’t a necklace that accents an outfit – this is the outfit! As with all my designs – they are not for the faint of heart. My jewelry is designed for the bold, for those wanting to be noticed.

Dirty Little Secret


I had an amazing time working this piece together – start with a gorgeous old lock and imagine all the secrets it kept hidden from view then add in ropes of bold chain and beautiful turquoise – I almost had to keep this piece for myself!

Absolutely OOAK – you won’t see a replica of this piece floating around – the lock has it’s original soviet era patina! The primitive vintage brass element twined into the turquoise gives this piece its dramatic flair – imagine the looks you will get wearing this statement making piece!

Long drapes of chain in various steel and copper tones are mainly vintage, interspersed with turquoise pearl chain. All the vintage chains have their original patina – there is no getting around the fact that nature does this best! A choker of turquoise nuggets brings bright color to your neckline and sets off the long cascade of chains perfectly. This piece drops an amazing 18 inches from the clasp!

Not for the faint of heart this piece will set you apart from the rest! Give your dramatic flair an outlet – feel the drape of this necklace and wonder what secrets it will hold for you!

Spring Fling


Bright colors are back, finally! And I have created a choker for the bold fashion mongers out there – Spring Fling! This multi chain chocker is vintage through and through. No one will know this piece didn’t come from a 1950’s vintage vogue collection. The fifties are hot collectors’ items right now – add this piece to your own collection of glamour inspired jewelry!

I used two different vintage brass chains to give this piece it’s deserving presence around your neck and then lightened the style with a rope of sparkling 10mm blue green crystals. This layered look is accented by a lime watercolor leaf brooch and an adorable blue crystal lady bug. (The brooch is about 3.5 inches long)

This little beauty is delicate, yet bold and would make a stunning addition to your spring wardrobe. The necklace is adjustable from 17-19 ". Like many of my other pieces, I have combined vintage and new in a way that makes a bold statement about you the owner. I strive to create pieces that have a high impact - Pieces of jewelry that will blow your mind with their brilliance.

Dark Shadows


Dark shadows is coming soon – be ready! 

Certain to be an instant cult classic with it’s all-star cast featuring Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Helena Bonham carter and the incomparable Michele Pfeiffer as the matriarch. My newest piece “Elizabeth” was inspired by Michelle’s character. This necklace is a combination of glamour with a touch of gothic beauty. Absolutely breathtaking!

This is a vintage piece – the brooch at the center is a stunning example of 50’s era glamour with its clear shadow crystals and Morion aurora borealis rhinestones. This piece glitters and sparkles like crazy. The brooch portion is about 3.5 inches in diameter making it a striking addition to your outfit.

The craftsmanship on this piece will shock you – each rhinestone is carefully hand set in individual prongs for long life and added sparkle. The necklace portion is of dual chain blended together to form the thick knot work you see. The gold tones and bluish green tones of the metals work well with the brooch.

No detail was left unattended to. Even the clasp of this necklace is adorned with a beautiful sparkling crystal stone. This piece is simple elegance, one of a kind to be certain! Wear it to the movie!
