This one is for everyone who has ever stood in my booth at a show and peppered me with questions. Or better yet, those who wanted to but didn't, lol.

You Asked, I'm Answering: The Top 10 Questions I Hear Most. Some answers might surprise you.

Not Your Typical Glass

When most people hear “glass jewelry,” they picture something blown, fused, or tumbled smooth by the ocean. Processes where the glass is, at some point, liquid.

Cold worked glass is never liquid.

A significant part of my business is custom work. Often, a client will see a piece in my case and fall in love with most of it but want a slightly different version. Perhaps the colors aren’t quite right, the scale needs to shift, or they’d like a different gemstone. These small adjustments to an existing idea can be a wonderful way to create something that feels personal while staying true to the language of my work.

As many of you know, I’ve been on a mission to whip my website into true e-commerce shape. I sprinted like mad to get most of my to-do list finished before my Black Friday sale—and thanks to your support, it was my most successful yet! That success has given me even more motivation to keep revamping things. Shockingly, the task turned out to be much bigger than I expected, and I’m now fully accepting that this is a slow-and-steady, overtime kind of project. I’m committed to making my website genuinely shoppable: better product descriptions, better photos, and more of them—especially showing how pieces look on the neck, hand, wrist, and on real people.
