Life is like a bowl of cherries to you. A little sweet, a little tart. Sometimes bright and racy, sometimes deep and tender. Delicious. This updated hoop is the perfect companion to your youthful, playful and carefree moods. Just keep the makeup minimal yet sultry and maybe a little '60s retro for a charming yet not-too-sweet look. Plump cherries large and small whose silhouettes are subtley hammered to catch light and shadow as you move. One cherry has a pit of a different shade.

Handcrafted. Silver with one gold-filled pit. Gold-fill can last a lifetime unlike gold-plating which wears down to expose the metal underneath. It is a 14k gold overlay made by heat and pressure-bonding the layer to a brass core. This piece is made by hand by forging, soldering and hammering. 2.5 L x 1.75 W

FROM THE DESIGNER: At an early age I was always drawn to art whether it was drawing, painting or just creating something out of nothing. I started making jewelry at age 15 and realized that nothing came close to the thrill, fulfillment and accomplishment I felt when someone wore a piece of jewelry I created. I studied metalsmithing to learn the process of forging, soldering and texturing metal both silver and 14k gold - everthing is done freehand to ensure originality and uniqueness. I'm inspired by everything that surrounds me - the pattern on a single leaf or an 18th century painting. It's difficult to put my jewelry in a category because anything can influence any piece at any moment. But, a couple of traits that are consistent in my work are beautiful organic silhouttes and fine detail. I never know exactly what I'm about to create, it tends to evolve on its own. If my jewelry brings out the beauty and joy in anyone who it may adorn, I know that I've chosen the right path. Enjoy!
