Opposites Attract

Unconventional mixes never cease to captivate me and while I embrace many styles, I have a penchant for opposite sides of the design spectrum. That proclivity is evidenced by the way our home infuses classic furniture with modern statement pieces that relax the space while continuing to write the story our ancestors penned.

Similarly, just as I am more likely to don a pair of sexy high heels or understated flats than a mid-heel pump, my jewelry designs, which give an edgy slant to classic diamonds and pearls, offer an array of both bold and minimalist pieces.
