I've always loved photography. Each piece starts with one of my photographs.

I was fortunate to have the chance to work in a silversmith’s studio where I was be able to learn about jewelry production, and also many aspects of running a business.

Eventually, I began displaying my photography in jewelry form, which allowed me to combine my experience in jewelry making and passion for photography to create something of my own.

My inspirations are nature and the city and the shapes and silhouettes that they create… how they are different but also similar, and my own ways to find peace and a space for myself within each.

Black Drop is now two years old. The pieces have a life of their own now, and they are traveling all over the world. I am very busy but I am happy and excited to have found a creative outlet that fulfills me and that other people can enjoy as well.

Each piece designed and handmade by me from start to finish.

although resin and acrylic are types of plastic, it is best not to wear your resin pendants or earrings while showering, exercising, etc., since moisture could seep into the piece and cause damage. also, some oils or lotions may cause the piece to break down over time

if the piece needs cleaning, you can wipe it with a slightly moistened cloth.

all of the findings and chains of Black Drop pieces are sterling silver. you may find, as with most silver jewelery, that the silver loses some of its luster over time. if your silver chain or jump rings need shining up, you can get a polishing cloth from a jeweler or most bead shops.

if you have a sterling piece (the kind of piece with a silver band that wraps all the way around the edge of your pendant or earrings), it is very important that you avoid buffing the resin (clear portion with the image in it) - this will cause it to turn cloudy.

the chains are coated which prevents tarnishing and may help reduce discomfort if you have a metal sensitivity. because of this coating, do not use any polishing chemicals or dips.
