The "Treasures Collection" started back in the 1980s when I started collecting and recycling interesting bits and pieces during my travels around the globe. I began blending ethnic forms and materials to make contemporary, timeless pieces that reflect and honor many cultures.      Since then I have always been on the lookout for unusual pieces to inspire me to create new jewelry.      The "Treasures Collection" is all one-of-a-kind due to the uniqueness of the objects used in these pieces.
