A geometric form ring
Inspired by architectural constructions. Cast in 14kt Yellow Gold and set with a shield cut Garnet and two baggette diamonds weight .52ct and one round diamond weight .19ct. I was asked to design a piece of jewelry for tha University of Houston School of Arcitecture fund raiser as an auction piece. This was one of the designs. This particular piece was donated for auction to Sterge Webber Foundation for their fund raiser.

Architectual Design Ring
Cast 18kt yellow gold w/ shield cut amethyst trapped in a partial bezel. Designed for The University of Houston School of Architecture "Blueprint Ball" silent auction. Inspired by girder constructs on bridges and buildings.

A Pin for a chemical engineer.
Cast in 14kt yellow gold bezel set with an amethyst cab and three Tsavorite Garnets. The piece was inspired by the glass equipement in a chem lab. I was exploring the use of a repeated design element rotated on a polar axis and at progressive heights.

Earrings in Layers
Fabricated in 14kt yellow gold bezel set amethyst and Tsavorite Garnets. These earrings are a companion piece to the previous pin for a chemical engineer. I was trying to develop a more three dimentional look to the design by adding a second layer seperated by the tubing set with the Tsavorite Garnets. I also was exploring my favorite subject of the appeal of repeated design element within a total design structure.

A ring in 18kt yellow gold set with 1.78ct cushion cut emerald and .20 ct diamonds.
This ring is one of the series of architectual designs I have been exploring. The emerald is suspended over the finger by a strut like structure that is accented by two bead set diamonds. The thing I like the most about this piece is the view of the emerald that is made possible under the bezel by the open work of the design. Although it seems insubstantial, the very nature of the adapted triangles formed by the struts provideds a very rigid structure.

The Oceans Gift
Cast piece in 14kt yellow and white gold set with a 12mm grey pearl and four .10ct diamonds bead set across the ring. The wave form rises on one side to protect the pearl and complement the grey color with the white gold. The band of diamonds set opposite as the sparkle and foam of a past wave. This piece was inspired by the ocean and her gem the Pearl.
