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

I might do a film someday for the collection. I love designing sets and creating environments, in film school and for my own presentations. I love telling stories.

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!

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

I consider taking a road trip with my husband to be the epitome of happiness. It's been so hectic lately that it's been hard to plan one, but we always drive to North Carolina, where he's from, for Christmas. We'll be doing that again soon.

As far as inspiration goes, I'm constantly inspired by traveling, symbols, magic and different cultural traditions around the world.

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