01 / The Philosophy

Every piece is a
wearable story.

Etched with echoes of travel, the rhythm of architecture, the grace of cultural design, and the spirit of songs written along the way.

The stone speaks first. Its color, history, and natural form guide a setting designed to honor—not overpower—what the earth has already made beautiful.

03 / The Artist

A life in music.
A language in silver.

I’ve spent a lifetime gathering memories, experiences, and objects of beauty while living and touring across North America and Europe as the lyricist and singer of Gypsy Soul.

Growing up on Bainbridge Island, surrounded by water and wild beauty, I was always searching for ways to capture that grace—in jewelry, lyrics, and song. Precious metal clay gave me a new language: recycled silver that could hold words, organic impressions, gems, and movement.

Today I create from my studio in Prescott, Arizona, listening for the innate story of each stone before shaping the silver that will surround it.

Read the fuller story

The idea for Espíritu began with a wish to bring my lyrics into jewelry. When I discovered precious metal clay—recycled .999 fine silver with extraordinary creative possibilities—it felt like another form of songwriting. I had experienced the healing power of sound through more than 25 years of making music, and I wanted each piece to carry that same sense of peace, intention, and connection. After exploring the medium on my own, I was fortunate to study with award-winning jeweler Patrik Kusek.

I sit with each stone long before I begin its setting, listening for the story suggested by its color, shape, and energy. The silver begins as clay, allowing me to imprint lyrics, poems, leaves, and other organic textures before adding precious and semi-precious stones. Through shaping, sanding, firing, patina, polishing—and sometimes the added alchemy of fused 24k gold—the piece slowly reveals itself.

That creative journey has grown into three expressions: Espíritu Fine Art, my one-of-a-kind gallery work in recycled fine silver and precious gems; Bijoux by Gypsy Soul, inspired by music and lyrics; and Adorabella Gems, my ready-to-wear sterling silver and gemstone line. My designs often carry movement, solfeggio frequencies, and a little bit of jingle-jangle.

After decades of travel, Roman and I found our forever home in Prescott in 2021. I hope each piece carries some of that wanderlust, music, and spirit—and reminds its wearer of the beauty around us and within us.

04 / The Alchemy

Up to 34 steps
from clay to heirloom.

Each piece begins as precious metal clay. Through patient shaping, carving, drying, kiln firing, patina, hand polishing, and assembly, its final character emerges.

  1. 01

    Listen

    The stone’s natural form and story guide the first sketches.

  2. 02

    Shape

    Fine silver clay is cut, textured, carved, dried, and refined by hand.

  3. 03

    Transform

    At 1,650°F, the organic binder burns away, leaving solid .999 silver.

  4. 04

    Add Gold

    If a design includes 24k gold, an additional sequence of steps is required to apply the liquid gold, fire it, and fuse it permanently to the silver.

  5. 05

    Reveal

    Patina, polishing, gemstones, and final assembly bring the piece to life.
