“I fell hard for ancient jewelry the moment I stepped into an exhibit of Scythian gold-work at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The jewelry was 3,000 years old; I was ten. It was love at first sight.”

Ancient Beauty Illuminates the Modern World

I want to bring a little of the magic and wonder of the ancient world into contemporary life where I hope that it sparks a connection. I am incredibly grateful that so many people have chosen my jewelry to adorn their souls.

WHAT MARY’S CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Mary’s creations are my favorite jewelry. She uses the best materials and designs delicate, feminine, unique pieces that I wear every day. I give her jewelry as gifts often and everyone loves the works as much as I do.  -Jen T, San Francisco CA

The jewelry I wear has to feel personal and natural yet elegant, and it’s very hard to find that combination. Mary’s light touch and deeply centered sense of time and place somehow forge the perfect balance. Mary has a gift of tapping into ancient mystery without cliché and this makes her pieces fun, timeless and interesting. -Claire M, Sausalito CA

Wearing Mary's jewelry somehow makes me feel simultaneously connected to my powerful Anglo-Saxon ancestry and beautifully feminine.  Her craftsmanship is elegant, creative and sophisticated while meaningful and steeped in a thorough understanding of history.  -Jen L, Larkspur CA
