Distinctive and comfortable to wear.
Whether dressing-up or down these consciously, artisan-made necklace sets are 
designed to make a statement .  Signature knots and thoughtfully curated colors, textures and
​eclectic materials combine to bring a fresh, contemporary vibe.

My knotted jewelry designs are inspired by the Inca culture and the metal, charm and chained jewelry combines some contemporary approaches. Both approaches combine unlikely materials into one, harmonious art piece to wear. The idea of using knots came from my desire to communicate as the Incas did  in the 15th century. They created a sophisticated language device of colorful clusters of knots called “Quipu”. A quipu is a cluster of knotted fibers which, back then, communicated statistics and ideas. It was the equivalent of our writing."

• Each knotted necklace is inspired by unique intentions and has its own title. Ultimately, she strives to connect people, thoughts and inspirations through this work.
• Depending on style, necklaces can be worn in a variety of ways and several can be adjusted to desired length.
• Beads I use include: African metal, bone, clay, coconut, copper, crystal, fiber, gemstone, glass, recycled/repurposed material, horn, sustainable tagua and sibucau nuts, paper, pewter, porcelain, resin, cai, sustainable congolo and pachaca seeds, shell, sustainable wood, & many other exotics!

Some of my favorite sustainable beads to work with are tagua nuts and acai seeds

Tagua nuts come from this Palm
