Collections to covet are prized pieces that are simply kept forever. These treasures charm the eye and kick-start the imagination with nuanced design, reverent craftsmanship, precious metals, and glittering gems intended to survive the ages.

“Timeless doesn’t always mean predictable. I think classic depends on as much interpretation as anything else. I wanted to make a collection that would engage people’s attention. Whether or not they completely wrap their minds around these pieces, I hope they will stop to admire them either way. This collection isn’t about the fleeting entertainment of an impulse buy. It is about thought and the moment that we realize what we treasure, why, and how that which we covet reflects on us. I think that this little experience is actually part of what we covet. Obtaining the precious, timeless objects that inspire us is as much about posterity as it is about desire.”

The jeweler allows me to wear the sapphire blue lake on my finger, the emerald green leaves around my neck, and take the citrine sunset with me wherever I go.  Jewelry has become my daytime link to nature in an office with no windows.  And if I have to work late, there's nothing like diamond stars and a pearl full moon against an onyx night sky.
