"My rings are a spiritual representation of home or church. Home is not just a habitat or building but a sacred place that everyone wants and needs. Home is a place where one lives with their family in their community. I use architectural shapes and lines for the structure and the shape of the stones to create roofs and windows to bring the ring to life."
The rings are made of sterling silver, gold and precious stones. It is hard to find most of her work online because she is retired. You almost have to own one of her pieces to be able to see her work. She is a terrific Art Jewelry Artist. She also did a collection with crocheted sliver that was beautiful. She is the reason I got into jewelry.

I think that you found a good example of art jewelry here! Funny thing, I thought of the Salt and Pepper Shaker project when I saw these. Her idea is similar to some of the ideas work we did on that project. Her work is very architectural. Although she captured the structure of a church or house, I wonder if she has tried to develop a representation of what a house or church holds inside?
Reading Jenny's comment defiantly could see the salt and pepper shaker assignment like this!!! Haha! Great choice of art jewelry here! I love seeing what people are inspired by, and she definably is by architecture! So neat! I feel like it is little houses in Greece. They are beautiful and make me want to travel!!!
When I first saw these pieces I thought that they were fine jewelry, although they can still be fine jewelry I think you found a good example of art jewelry because they do communicate her specific idea of incorporating architecture into jewelry. Awesome!!
When I first saw these little guys I thought they looked like little villages in Italy. So awesome that the designer took materials that would be made into fine jewelry but also made them wearable art.
