Here are some of my commissions. I find that sometimes people want me to make a cloisonne of a deceased pet as a memorial. Or they have a special design that they want done in enamels. Whatever your need, whether it's to reproduce an image from a picture or do a new custom design, I would be happy to hear from you.
If you are interested in a custom enameled piece, please email me.
| The kitty is a graphic on customer's boat name - The Cat's Meow.

This was a piece done for a custom jeweler in MI. They were commissioned by a long time customer of theirs who designs jewelry inspired by his and his wife's life.
I created the Cloisonné Enamel. Their head goldsmith, Randall Counts, engineered and fabricated the pendant/pin, the flush set diamonds, the cherry wood frame, and the duality of the piece as a pendant or a pin. The back of the piece has an extra surprise. To represent the customer's trip to Kitty Hawk, there is a cut out showing the silhouette of the Wright Brothers' first plane.
The front of the piece mimics the stained glass windows recently installed in their customer's home.
Here is the drawing I was first sent...  |
