Organic Modern
Jessica calls her style “organic modern”.   She strives to create jewelry that is wearable, yet unique. Each is a small artwork.

It’s evident that the pieces are handmade. They are built with traditional metalsmithing techniques and tools such as the mallet, the torch, & the saw.  In her designs, Jessica creates squares that are not quite square, organic circles, and prefers slightly uneven shapes; some imbalance.  

Materials
Many pieces have been created with silver, and embellished with satiny smooth hand mixed colored resin.  Pearls, cubic zirconia, and other semi-precious gems are also incorporated.  Jessica currently adds color to her jewelry using torch-fired enamel; colored glass fused to metal. These interesting works have color, texture, and a unique painterly quality.
