Transformation and the Energy within . . . My art is about inviting the richness of Possibility to others' lives.
Message
From the Old World Vines Collection, inspired by two time-honored traditions: celebrating revered ancient wine vines and the opulence of gilding everything with pure gold during the Baroque period in art. Drink it in!
Hand forged from mild steel, given a black heat patina, and gilded with 23K gold leaf. 23K gold is applied to the steel to give it a historical feel, as though it has been around for centuries. It is then sprayed with Permalac, a microfine protectant which bonds to the metals protecting it from time and the elements.
As with all my neckpieces, it is formed to rest comfortably flowing over the curves of a woman's neck and shoulders.
