The Ocean Patina Collection is a series of handmade copper jewelry that celebrates the natural process of change and transformation. I use the ocean’s saltwater to create a patina on each piece, allowing time and nature to shape the final outcome. This process, unpredictable yet organic, yields jewelry pieces with rich hues and textures that evolve as they are exposed to the elements. The patina itself becomes a living testament to the interaction between metal and seawater, embodying the fluid, ever-changing character of the ocean. Working with copper allows me to connect with the raw beauty of materials and honor the transformative power of the natural world. In each piece, I see a story of resilience, change, and the slow artistry of time—a reminder that beauty lies not only in the finished product but in the process that brings it to life.
