Inspired by sculpture and pottery, my desire to make pieces with more volume that stacked together brought me to these silver beads. I found that making them was a joyous process, and that process produced something luminous. These forms bring up different references for most people I discuss them with. For me the shapes come from my love of sculpture and pottery - shapes from antiquity and modern expressions like that from .

This oval bangle has a sliding 1/2" silver vessel charm that moves along the gold-fill box chain. Squeeze this bracelet for the perfect fit or leave it at its full shape and layer with other bracelets.
