that bells would be only an experiment, needing to be made somehow more special in an already long-established body of work in more traditional forms of jewelry.
After discovering the fascination & challenge in designing a piece of jewelry with resonant qualities & finding them interesting to collectors, I enlarged that exploration.
Bells eventually took over my business. A new joy began replacing the more problematic aspects of glitz & value, which too often overshadow much of jewelry design.
After 12 years, I decided to concentrate on continuing to develop the now large collection of several hundred bells. That joy had become truly my best artistic endeavor!>
