Shop for custom wedding rings, unique mokume gane jewelry and more.
I am proud to offer quality craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail in all of my work. From meticulously hand-crafted custom wedding rings to stamp-patterned earrings, all of my work is created using the traditional metalsmithing tools of file, handsaw, torch, and hammer. I fuse my own mokume gane billets and create everything from scratch at my San Diego studio. Visit my Etsy shop.
Create your own mokume gane jewelry in one of my 2018 workshops.
From fusing to chiseling, you can learn a wide range of techniques and even purchase exclusive limited edition ready-to-pattern mokume gane at my small format classes. View the current schedule at my workshops page.

I've been doing a lot more of my patterning using the most traditional Japanese way - the chisel. Read why and see fun in-process pics of this bracelet on my blog. -- Updated with finished image of this same style bracelet in 18k yellow gold and palladium.
