Throughout history jewelry has been used as currency, a way to convey status, or adornment that symbolizes association or religious belief. Today, the engagement ring is the most recognized and observed symbol in contemporary western culture, representing a romantic commitment as well as status.

As a creator of adornment I am attracted to the return of more symbolic meaning in wearable art.
