This sterling and fine silver live oak tree features microfaceted green onyx leaves and is suspended from an 18 inch handcrafted sterling silver and smoky quartz chain.
This shade of green makes me see a live oak as the sunshine returns after a rainfall.
Green onyx, a symbol of restfulness and purity, imbues the power to relieve worries, tension, stress and fears.

I love New Orleans. I may not be native, but I like to think I am "local" and that drives me to create art reflective of my love for this frustratingly glorious home I adore.
My meandering path of jewelry making began with the first love beads I strung in high school. About twenty years ago I discovered the joy of wireworking, which has evolved into what I affectionately call “wearable wire sculpture.”
Inspired by the nature and symbolism associated with Louisiana, my signature collection focuses on capturing the unique proportion, texture, and poetry of our magnificent Live Oaks. Each one carries history in its soul, expressing Louisiana’s beauty, strength, and resilience perhaps more eloquently than the fleur de lis.
