more about the silversmith and her jewelry
Greeneyedtaj Jewelry is one of a kind and hand fabricated in solid sterling and fine silver. I use traditional silversmithing techniques with an eye for clean, high-impact design to create meaningful and lasting works of art. With an academic background in science and engineering, I strive for precision and balance, turning an objective eye to how a design will wear while it makes a statement.
Each piece starts as silver sheet and wire. I saw, file, sand, solder, set stones, and finish my pieces by hand. Many of the stones I use are rare or of an uncommon presentation. This includes both precious and semi-precious stones as well as a wide variety of turquoise from the US and around the world. Stone quality is of the utmost importance to me and I continually seek out lapidary artists who artfully handcraft each stone in order to be showcased.
Forming metal and stone into something beautiful is my passion. I am constantly developing my skills, pushing to the next level, and tackling each new challenge with excitement and focus. Above all, my goal is to create treasures in which another shares in my point of view, sees what I see, and makes it their own.
