Where the seed was planted
After spending countless summer months working at nearby jewelry boutique Seamist Studio (The pearl shop as locals like to call it). I was left with an undeniable passion for the art of jewelry design. Working underneath renowned pearl jewelry artist Michelle Johnson, I was taught the value of high-quality materials, the vast array of gemstones our world has to offer and the type of work ethic required to find genuine happiness within your art. Mickey is an inspirational woman to say the least. She cared, nurtured, and taught through her designs. Embodying what it means to live and breathe through your art. Over those many summers I learned the basics of jewelry design and my love for the pearl gemstone was planted…and it hasn’t stopped growing since.
