I’m driven by history and our past. That’s why I work in gold. It’s in your veins. We’ve been lusting after gold since the beginning of time. God, glory, and gold.

I work with gold that holds history, diamonds that see the future, and rubies that long for love.

I don’t drink coffee.

Someone gives jewelry, and there’s a bit of romance. If you buy it from a store, the store is trying to romance you. Even when I’m making the jewelry, I have to be romanced.

I’m not super-patriotic, but the U.S. is where I live, and it’s the passport that I carry.
