Business InformationHistory/background
I'm a professional silversmith committed to crafting fine quality one-of-a-kind jewelry and wearable art. I have 20 years experience as an artisan with a retail location at New River Valley Mall, Christiansburg, Virginia. With no regrets, I closed my retail outlet April 30, 2008 and am happily working out of my home studio. Before my mall location I operated out of a small gallery-studio in downtown Blacksburg Virginia and stayed on the road 3 weekends out of the month attending fine art shows on the east coast. I am committed to designing for my customers one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry using only the finest semi-precious stones that I have spent half my lifetime collecting, many of which are cut and polished in my home studio. I am a Native American, and some of my pieces reflect my heritage; however I have developed a more contemporary style over the years and love to explore new smithing techniques and incorporate them into my work.

Return policy
I want you to be 100% satisfied with you jewelry purchase. I prefer not to do returns. I try to represent my jewelry accurately in photos and descriptions; however I do understand that sometimes a purchase just isn't quite right when you get it and try it on. In this case I will gladly accept a return or PREFERABLY an exchange. Remember I made this piece of jewelry and a can usually alter it by changing a stone, shortening length, etc. For obvious reasons I cannot accept returns on any earrings, sorry.
