Wear your favorite peak as an earring!
Here’s how:

  • Choose it.

    Did you choose your favorite mountain, or did it choose you? Either way, it’s that one peak that calls to you in the early morning, that makes your heart sing when it’s under your feet. You’ll know it when you feel it.

  • Design it.

    That’s my job! I found my passion working with silver and gold over two decades ago, and it gives me great joy to work with people to create a special piece. I especially love getting to know these mountains better as I turn their faces into wearable art.

  • Ear with mountain earring.

    Wear it.

    Just as the mountain changes with weather and light and mood, each of these pieces is unique. Sized for subtlety, but easily noticed.

let’s get started!

Send me a note with a basic idea of what you’re looking for, and if possible a photo of the aspect of the mountain that appeals to you most. I’ll get back to you with my availability, and we can discuss a quote for your project. Visit my design process page for more details, or click here to get started:

We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us.
