THE PHOTOGRAPHY
I shoot primarily in film, some digital, and often incorporate the two. I use a variety of cameras, some new, some vintage and antique: Canon Rebel, Holga, Argoflex, Polaroid, et al. The cameras' films vary, as well: 35mm, medium format, and instant (integral & pack).

THE JEWELRY
My collection of distinctive adornments encompasses my passion for exploration into mediums beyond photography. I often combine new objects, my original images, as well as some of the diverse vintage/antique found objects I have amassed.
These works are handcrafted originals designed and created by me. While they are one-of-a-kind and limited editions, I may be able to reproduce a piece using similar materials but there will be some variants.
Elements are described to the best of my knowledge and/or how they were presented to me. I'm not an expert appraiser and I'll indicate if I'm unsure of an item's content, age, or provenance. I use the term "vintique" when I'm not sure if an item qualifies as vintage or antique.
While I appreciate timeworn patinas, I do try to prevent any possible transfer onto skin/clothing. I take great care to clean, and/or seal elements while leaving their original aged appeal intact.
Another step I take, particularly with devotional items, is placing them with a "charged" crystal to help remove any possible residual negative energies. Whether you believe in that sort of thing or not I figure it can't hurt.
Please note, due to the nature, size, and/or age of materials that may be used, these works are not intended for use by children. Please keep out of their reach and away from pets.

REFUNDS/EXCHANGES
Generally, due to the one-of-a-kind and made-to-order nature of my items, all sales are final. I try to describe items to the best of my knowledge. Due to computer monitor variations, products may appear slightly different in person. You may contact me prior to making a purchase if you have any further questions about an item. Please notify me immediately should a problem arise and I will try to work with you to come to a resolution.
