Erin and Shanna contacted me from Washington to ask if I would design wedding rings for them. It was such a pleasure to work on their project.
One of their very favorite activities together is trail riding in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Together we designed their 'Between the ears" rings, their horses ears picked out in palladium with the profile of spectacular Mount Baker in the background.

I was delighted to win my third Saul Bell Design Award with this Argentium Silver bangle which won second place in the silver category this year.
This design was born after my reading of the Large Hadron Collider and the race to find the 'God Particle' or Higgs Boson.
After weeks of research and scores of CAD drawings the Collider bangle emerged.
The bangle looks like two intertwined forms but it is actually one continuous channel with a single edge. Inside, synthetic ruby balls race around the channel and collide with each other.
