I’ve always been drawn to vintage jewelry, especially the fluid lines and natural forms of the Art Nouveau period. The Art Flower collection began with a pair of antique earrings I came across and couldn’t stop thinking about. I wanted to capture their romantic, floral quality while making the idea feel more sculptural and wearable today.

The Art Flower Cup was the first expression of that idea. Its petals curve upward around the diamond or gemstone, almost as if the flower is holding its center. The setting feels soft and organic, but still has a strong, dimensional presence.

As the collection evolved, I began exploring a second interpretation: the Art Flower Bloom. In this version, the petals open outward and frame the center stone, allowing more of its color and character to come through. The Cup cradles the stone, while the Bloom opens around it.

That distinction has created so much room to explore. Aquamarines, pink garnets, peridots and unusual diamonds each bring something different to the design. The color, shape and proportions of an individual stone often determine how the flower develops around it, which means these pieces can feel related without ever feeling exactly the same.

What began with hoop earrings has continued into pendants, rings and one-of-a-kind custom pieces. I love that the Art Flower motif can keep changing while remaining recognizable, shaped each time by the stone at its center.
