Your pieces are so delicate, yet have an edge. How do you accomplish such impact and what is your opinion of the overt 'statement jewelry' that's so popular right now?
"I really love mixing extremes — masculine and feminine, hard and soft. I try to do that with my designs as well, but not super overtly. They seem simple and really dainty, but there's a masculine element to them as well, especially the pieces that are hammered, or have sharper edges. I've never been an 'in your face' type of person, especially with accessories. I love pieces that at first glance seem really simple, but when you take a second look you notice that there is something interesting and special about them. Big statement-y pieces are definitely having their moment right now, and that's great...but I think there will always be women who want simpler pieces that they can put on and wear consistently, regardless of trends."
