Inspired by the California Mule Deer, this pendant captures the essence of wild grace
California quail – alert, elegant, and just a bit bashful.

I am a silversmith working primarily in Argentium Silver (an alloy similar to Sterling but with a higher silver purity that is also hypoallergenic, tarnish resistant, and has a gentler environmental impact in its manufacture).
All of my silver and gemstones are ethically sourced, and all pieces handmade using traditional techniques. Most of my work is based on local flora and fauna, or on emotional concepts.
