It is this detailing that makes each piece of jewelry exclusive with each piece not the same as another. The use of precious metals and stones adds that plush aspect to her jewelry.
Among her many pieces the ones that stand out for special mention are the alligator ring made with gold, diamonds and seedpod, the rings made using shells and diamonds set in gold, the rings made with horseshoe crabs, pearls, onyx, opals, diamonds, etc set in gold and sterling silver.
