When and how did you get started in the jewelry business? If you include the earliest jewelry that I made for my mother (which she still has!), I started around age five. But my formal beginning started with an art teacher in high school who took me under her wing and introduced me to metalsmithing. I fell in love with it, so in college I majored in Studio Art with a metalsmithing concentration. I graduated with the intent to make jewelry as a living. I didn’t realize at the time how challenging it would be, but I was lucky enough to come from a family that always encouraged me to follow my dreams and do what I was passionate about. So I never even entertained another option. After school I worked for a couple of different designers as a bench jeweler and really fine-tuned my technical skills, all the while designing my own pieces on the side. When I felt ready, I started my own collection in 2000.
