Fondest Jewelrythis Journeys & My Most Treasured Jewelry Piece
Maria's Quest
I am moved when helping clients create jewelry that holds a meaningful and powerful message to them. This pendant does just that. The V for victory with a Sunflower set upon it and filling the void of the V. An amethyst in the center is the birthstone. The Sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, V is for the victory of the client's fiance surviving crossing the country to reach freedom.
Giraffe Love
When guiding a client with the design of their custom engagement ring I always ask them; 'What inspired them / their partner'?. How can we include memories and symbols to make their ring uniquely theirs. This client shared their partners absolute love for giraffes and so we knew we had to included them in her very special and totally unique one-of-a-kind engagement ring.
Most Treasured Piece
My most treasured piece of jewelry is this antique glass opal pendant passed on to me from my Grandma. It was a gift from to her from a dear friend. She would often take it out and show it to me when I visited her.
