Shop Wearable ArtThe Tamar Collection
After a four-year hiatus from releasing a new collection, I returned to creating with renewed purpose. The Tamar Collection emerged from that return, born at the Tucson Gem Show and forged through countless bench-side pivots in my Denver studio.
Each piece in this collection is one-of-a-kind. Each creation took me on what I call a “micro-journey”, a unique path from raw gemstone to finished work that can never be exactly replicated. These stories document that process: the pivots, the problems-turned-breakthroughs, and the moments when the materials finally told me what they wanted to become.

I Can Fix That!

I have worked with clients in the past to reimagine a similar version of a sold-out item. Although it could never be a replica due to the unique gemstones used in each piece, we can capture the original spirit.
