The Story:

As a little girl, I loved to explore the objects that my mother brought with her from her youth in the Middle East: intricately carved wooden furniture, rich-colored carpets and delicately embellished silver vessels. In school I found myself recreating –on math worksheets and homework papers – the geometric patterns that surrounded me at home. The graceful artifacts of my childhood have exerted a deep formative influence on my work, and continue to inspire me as I expand my exploration of the Middle Eastern and Asian artistic traditions through both travel and study.

My original jewelry designs draw on ancient patterns and motifs from throughout the Middle East and Asia. I create one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces out of both fine and sterling silver: rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Some pieces are embellished with 22k gold, while others include colorful beads and natural stones. Throughout the collection I strive for grace and elegance in all my designs.

All of my work is created in my home studio, which is located next to a waterfall in Berkeley, California. When not making jewelry, I can often be found painting, working in the half-acre garden that surrounds our home, or traveling in search of new design inspiration.
