I devise novel mechanical (no solder, no glue) construction methods that combine fundamentally-different industrial materials, plus some traditional jewelry components, to create earrings (primarily) and bracelets and necklaces.

I base my jewelry methods on information skills I learned in my engineering studies (PhD) and career (30 years). Many of my engineering activities (and my 2 patents) were related to mechanical systems.

Industrial components I use include: rubber shapes (rings and cords), electrical signal connectors, heat sinks (spoked-ring radiators for cooling electronics), gears, bearings, and brilliantly-colored laser filters.
