The first thing I ever cast was orange and grapefruit seeds for the floor of my installation in Milan, then I cast the apple seed ring, and I started thinking about rings as small pieces of wearable art. I wanted to make rings with content, pieces that would be intimate and symbolic to the wearer, which was something I didn't see in the world around me. I hope you enjoy them.

Prices: All rings are $90 each, buttons are $50 each, and all earrings, necklaces, and cufflinks are $120. All of the prices are for the pieces in silver, the price for gold plated would be more, and the price for solid gold would be related to the market price of the gold.

Also a disclaimer: All of the pieces have a handmade quality, and some of them are not completely round, so some of the sizes are an educated guess.

Apple Seed Ring  

Ring height: 1 cm or 7/16th ins., measured at widest point. Available in size 6, 7.25, 8.5, 11.5

This is the first ring I made—I stitched apple seeds together and cast them—I was thinking about having a child and wanted to meditate on seeds and fertility of all kinds— but people see different things in it—flames, teeth, tears, a crown—

Bird Stamp Ring  

Ring height: 1.7cm or 3/4 ins. (more or less, depending on ring size) Available in sizes 3.5, 4.5, 5, 7.5, 8, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11

This is one of my favorites—birds and flying have always been a metaphor for freedom for me—I feel a lot of tension living in a body that has limitations and yet has a mind that is free to dream—

Bone Misc. Ring  

Ring height: 1.5cm or 5/8 of an inch tall at the tallest spot. Available in size 10 (approx.)

I made a collage of bones, the way they never would have been in nature—a hip glued to a hand to an arm to a spine, and cast it into a ring-

Bone Square Ring  

Ring height: .5cm or 1/4 ins. Available in size 6, 8 (approx.)

This ring is 4 small animals' arm, leg, finger or toe bones glued together, with some extra knee or hand pieces at the corners-this ring taught me that while we think of fingers as round, they are equally square at the knuckle.

Couple Ring  

Ring height: .6cm or 1/4 ins. Available in size 7, 8, 8.5, 9.5

I made this one to think about what it means to be a couple and yet remain individuals—one comes from one place, one comes from another, and they lie down together—

Fern Graphic Ring  

Ring height: 1.5cm or 1/2 ins. tall at the tallest— Available in size 5.5, 7.5, 8

I picked the top of a fern, pressed it into a wax band, and cast it—It had such a graphic line, like tiny fiddleheads, each one a fractal—I like that they feel so ancient, and I like how Anselm Kiefer has used them—

Fern Lace Ring  

Ring height: 1.2m or 1/2 ins. tall at the tallest. Available in size 7.5, 8.75, 11.75

I picked the top of a fern, pressed it into a wax band, and cast it—It came out with such delicate detail, like lace—

Hand in Sky Ring  

Available in size 9

I wanted it to look like you're looking up into the night sky, and a hand made out of stars is coming down to help you—

House Ring  

Height is 1.2cm or 1/2 ins. - Available in size 4, 6.5, 7, 7.75, 9

When I was evicted from my loft, I would close my eyes at night and draw pictures of little houses, and when I opened my eyes, the drawings were always surprising (you can see them here). It was as if they were tiny prayers for a home. This ring is an homage to that time—

Simple Ring  

Ring height: .3cm or 1/8 in. Available in size 6, 8.5

This ring has been used as a wedding band, and has a very good handmade irregular feeling to the touch—

Seahorse Curled Ring  

Ring height: 1.2 cm or .5 ins. Available in size 4, 6.5, 6.75, 8.5

Seahorses are bizarre to me, that they can move with just the little wings on their faces-and they are a favorite of a dear friend on mine—

Seahorse Flying Ring 

Ring height: 1.5 cm or 5/8 ins. Available in size 10, 14

I like the way this one looks like he's flying—

Spiral Broken Ring  

Size 8, height is 1.5cm or 5/8 in.

See above, but I also love that this one shows how it grows larger—

Spiral Bumpy Ring  

Size 5, height is 1.2cm or .5 in. Available in size 5.5, 8.5

I am attracted to spirals—the shape, the movement, and the science—the golden mean, Fibonacci, etc.

Spiral Negative Ring  

Available in size 7, 9.5

I wanted to do a spiral ring that shows the inside and the outside spaces of the spiral.
