MEET THE DESIGNER

Prior to designing jewelry, Leslie's first creative endeavor was actually as a pastry chef, and baking inspired her to search for a more lasting form of art using precious metals and gemstones. When she created her signature Perched Setting rings, which equally showcase a gemstone's beauty from both the back and front, people took notice. Soon after, she began developing her mesmerizing Puzzle collection, which is based around the concept of interlocking gold squares. Leslie believes that an individual's beauty lies in that person's unique style and attitude, so she strives to illuminate those idiosyncrasies in her designs. Each piece is handmade in Portland, Oregon.
