Hand forged from gleaming sterling silver, copper and gold, these treasures born of nature’s elements are encrusted with custom lapidary shapes, brilliant Chatham created gems and drusy crystals.
The designer reaps inspiration from his own Celtic, Caledonian and Cherokee ancestral lineage. He gathers aesthetic insight through his affinity with the ancient Polynesians and the Pacific Northwest Sea Voyaging cultures. The magnificence and power of the horse by land - in contrast to the flowing grace of elusive ocean creatures by sea - are all powerful themes featured throughout this stunning line of metal adornments for men and women.

He has continued to expand his expertise in the intricate art of fine metalwork, while holding dear the enchanted secrets of the alchemy of crystal growth.
