Dragonfly by AJR
Handmade Jewelry
I create one-of-a-kind pieces that delight and inspire you to tell your unique story. I am particularly interested in exploring the combination of unexpected textures and colors, and use various materials including metal, wood, wire, natural stones, gems, found items, and vintage beads.
My work has been featured in the gallery at Darlington Arts Center, and at auction events at Walnut Street Theatre and Theatre Exile.
