More than a profession: A Way of Life
Over the years, I’ve developed a hands-on practice across the full process of jewelry and ornamental creation. I begin with rendering designs in gouache, then move into wax carving or 3D modeling and fabrication. I carve and set my own stones, engrave by hand, and finish each piece myself. I believe in knowing every stage of the craft so the work remains unified: one vision carried from start to finish.
Journey
Crafting Since 2012
Mastering Details
Filing, shaping, engraving, setting, finishing. Each step matters. I work slowly and deliberately so the piece feels right in the hand and natural on the body.
I began with simple wire jewelry, letting my interest in gemstones and metalwork grow at its own pace. As I learned, I kept moving deeper - into carving, fabrication, setting, engraving, and finishing - until the process became a full discipline of the hand.
