A mon sujet

I specialize in fine silver jewelry that uses reclaimed silver. Most of my pieces are created using PMC (precious metal clay). PMC uses silver that is reclaimed from film negatives and x-rays. That silver is ground to a powder and mixed with an organic binder that makes is malleable like clay. So, when I work with it it is in clay form. After I have created something wonderful for you I fire the piece in a kiln and the organic binder burns away completely and what is left is just he pure silver. MAGIC – wha-la! The final piece is polished, oxidized, brushed, and so on and so forth.

My pieces are made from my original illustrations with the exception of Evil Eyed Bird which was created for the non-profit org "Nest". http://www.buildanest.com

With metal clay I am able to translate my organic inspirations onto an industrial material. So goes the name "Chocolate and Steel"...the combination of organic and industrial, soft and strong, sweet and solid. Now an independent designer living in Los Angeles, I wake to discover new inspirations everyday. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity to do what I love. I have many hobby-like activities, but creating jewelry is my passion.
