I'm always inspired by the hidden treasures, unique personalities and New York's overall charm.

To me, jewelry is a natural progression and there is something so meaningful and magical about creating that one of a kind, special piece.

The leather vests are work vests, supposed to look like factory workers. They're actually the vests we use in the studio when we make jewelry.

I love how significant jewelry is throughout the world and throughout time. People have been adorning themselves with jewelry for years and its one of the oldest forms of art and design. This is something that has and will always inspire me.

I'm listening to Gogol Bordello, which is totally random, but I love him. Just finished the new Joan Didion book, Blue Nights, which I loved. I haven't been to the movies in God knows how long. I haven't been doing anything but living in a bubble, making jewelry!

Luxury is something that makes you feel beautiful. I have a vintage silk kimono that definitely makes me feel beautiful and luxurious.
