Fine Silver With an Asian Flair

I was inspired on a trip to adopt our daughter Chloe from China in 2004 to incorporate Asian design elements in my work. I had so much fun visiting the Antique market, Jade Market and Fabric Market with our precious bundle of happiness. I am still reliving our trip as I comb through the beads, gems, coins, and paper ephemera I brought back. It will be fun to share the love of China with my daughter as she grows older.
