The journal gives more context than a product page can: where material comes from, how pieces are built, what we notice while traveling, and why certain objects remain important after they are sold.
It is a written record of Made Design Jewelry as an active Los Angeles studio—material, process, travel and the history surrounding the work.
The journal
Material, process and the life around the work.
These entries document stone sourcing, fabrication, studio decisions, travel, older work and the ideas that continue to shape Made Design Jewelry. The format is intentionally simple so the writing remains the focus.
