My pieces are most often inspired by an element that I use in them. Take for instance these cuffs. I found the ornate bezel online and knew right away that I wanted to use it for this idea I had for the cuffs.

I also had in my possession some vintage glass buttons, vintage script paper, gold mini glass beads and some blank cuffs just waiting to be used.

It is amazing to me how all these individual parts can make such a beautiful piece of jewelry. All bound together by soldering. Some added resin inside the bezel to forever encase all of the vintage goodness.
