Contemporary Diamond Solitaire




This was a wonderful experiment in which I learned a ton! It is all hollow construction from 18 gage sterling silver sheet metal in the form of a rather oversized emerald cut "diamond" in a modern style comfort fit ring that fits like a glove between the fingers and sits well on either the middle or ring finger. As a vent for the soldering process, I pierced out with a jewelers saw the word "adamas" in stylized Greek script, hidden on the inside of the band. Adamas being the root word of diamond, it translates to "invincible" and one definitely does feel so when wearing this piece - its not for the faint of heart.

Sadly, I had been wearing it a lot before I took pictures and didn't realize it was so scuffed - it has since been pristinely polished, more pics to come...

Nerd Love (ASKII Binary) Ring


This is a band on band ring I made of sterling silver with my own stylized version of 1's and 0's. This actually translates to nerd in binary with a small heart separating the beginning and end of the code on the backside. It was formed by first piercing out the lines and dots with a jewelers saw and then soldering and forming the strip of silver into a ring. I repeated the process sans the code only slightly smaller and then soldered the two rings into one seamless piece and filed it into a comfort fit band which feels so good on.

If anyone is interested, I can do custom orders.

Returning Songbird


Even today in our modern era of steam powered greatness, poor canaries are still put through torture in the coal mines throughout our great empire. So many times, these lovely birds do not make it out alive to ever sing again, something our laboratories simply can not stand by any longer and allow. We are now the first to feature returning clockwork songbirds, a more humane solution for our coal miners' safety. Constructed with state of the art sensors to detect slight anomalies in the air deep within the mines, we have also added a feature to bring the comfort of songbirds to a dismal setting deep within the earth. We exclusively offer five unique bird songs: canary, finch, wren, sparrow, and warbler to give a personal choice to our customers.


Again, this is my jewelry collection I have been working on for some time, I am finally getting around to putting them up online. Each of these are made with antique pocketwatch parts dating back to the 1800's and 1900's - they have been painstakingly built up from the micro gears, balances, and plating to create new widgets for the Steampunk savvy fashionista. This little clockwork bird is a elegant pin and a smart accessory for any explorer.

Ambit Triangulator

Many explorers and temporal-archaeologists need tools for their work in the field, with this handy Ambit Triangulator you can leave most of those heavy tools back in the lab. Keeping designs simple for long voyages and expeditions is our goal while never sacrificing on quality, our engineers work relentlessly because we are trailblazers too.

More to come with our field approved tools for adventurers and scientists alike.

This lovely pin can be also worn as a pendant, a definite piece for the stylishly bold looking to make a statement.

The Decay of Time


For this piece, I was inspired by 2 things, the decay of time, and a quote (from Star Trek) as to where time is a predator - I wanted to convey those concepts. It is constructed out of 18 gage copper and brass sheet metal all pierced, cut, textured, riveted, and patinated by moi, each gear is unique and lovingly crafted and filed to its final organic shape. It is a beautiful necklace with a nice short chain to sit high on your chest to make a statement - very steampunk chic.
