 My most recent custom piece was a joy to make. A fellow came in to my studio wanting a memory ring to honor his recently departed wife. We worked from the starting point of the rings that they wore during 37 years of marriage. At right is the design we came up with. The 14k yellow gold edging is those actual three rings, which I melted down together then rolled and fabricated into two bands. The center stone is the diamond he most wanted to incorporate - from the smaller ring, the one he had bought for her when they first married. The central mokume gane band and diamond represent their connection - separated by planes of existence for now, but always connected. I was honored to help him remember his wife in this way.

Irene has been selling her work professionally for over 6 years. Her personal interests in travel and art history have led her to specialize in the traditional and time-consuming technique of chasing and repoussé. Irene shows her work at the finer craft fairs in San Diego and various private trunk shows. See more of her work on her website.
