ABOUT
Design runs in my family, I am the fourth generation of designers from Lithuania.
I came to NYC to study design and graduated FIT with a Phi Theta Kappa degree in fashion. My very first job ignited my love of jewelry design. I soon became GIA certified and started designing jewelry. Re imagining inherited or vintage jewelry became my passion. My custom jewelry designs were featured at Palm Beach Jewelry and my x diamond earrings were chosen for an episode of Bravo’s Project Runway.
Jewelry is very sentimental because every time you wear it, it reminds you of a person or an occasion. I love the process of working closely with my clients to design or re imagine a piece from beginning to end. It is so special when a client can be a part of the birth of a special piece that can be worn for generations. The satisfaction I get from a happy client who is beyond satisfied is my ultimate goal. I want to make this process as precious as I can.
