2024 Autumn Equinox Collection

2024 Autumn Equinox Collection

The 2024 Autumn Equinox Collection is almost here, it goes live on Sunday 9/22 at noon ET.  The colors and gems in this new jewelry are so evocative of the beauty of change…Carnelian, citrine, rutilated quartz, sapphire, smoky topaz, pyrite, lapis lazuli, tourmaline, chatoyant gray quartz, agate, spinel and more. I revel in the creative opportunities that these seasonal collections offer me. This time I looked into my "making past" (both far and near) and focused on design elements, techniques and motivations that have inspired me over time.
