Quality is not a luxury. I am a designer and goldsmith and have
opened Ithaca’s first waterfront jewelry store and gallery. The
Jewelbox is a destination for lovers of fine hand fabricated
designer jewelry. My challenge, my joy is to use the precious
materials from nature to reflect her by refashioning them into
elements of wearable comfortable and ageless jewelry.
