The name of my artisan jewelry collection fits my approach to creating jewelry. I am so intrigued by so many different techniques and styles of jewelry that I can't limit myself to only one! I graduated with a degree in History and the historical techniques and styles of jewelry making fascinate and inspire me. I also draw inspiration from my love of travel and nature.

All of the jewelry in Miscellanea Etcetera is handcrafted by me in my Seattle-area home studio; I love gathering a pile of stones, metal and wire and creating a beautiful unique piece of jewelry from scratch. My jewelry is made with quality materials - genuine sterling silver, natural copper, semi-precious and precious gemstones, and unique glass beads. Each piece of handmade jewelry has a story to tell - a certain unique quality that mass produced jewelry just doesn't have. I like to make jewelry that is striking and eye catching, but comfortable and wearable.

I also love working with clients on custom orders. If you have a specific project you would like to work with me on, please email me! I would love to hear from you.

I have been making handmade jewelry in many forms for over 8 years. My work has been shown in Western Washington galleries and I teach wire-wrapping and other jewelry making classes in the Seattle area as well.
