  • When I was 5 years old, I decided that I would become a jeweler.  Years later, following my dream, I completed a 4 1/2  year training in the professional jewelry art school, L'Ecole d'art appliqué of La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland.
  • Fresh out of jewelry school in 1980, I was the first woman-jeweler hired by Patek Philippe in Geneva.  A wonderful and challanging job where I learned the art and precision of workmanship.
  • Later on I worked for Bucherer at the Rue du Rhone downtown Geneva where I was "Warrenchef" and did sales and custom design.  What a marvelous beehive of cosmopolitan and international staff and clientele we had there.  I still miss it.
  • Moving to the Northwest in 1985 did open all possibilities.   After settling in, I started making one-of-a-kind jewelery pieces for my friends and acquaintances, officially opening my own business in 1988.
  • I have since shown my work in various art galleries around the Puget Sound.  You can currently find my work at Gallery by the Bay in Stanwood, WA.
