Lerwick Designs

I am often asked where my inspiration comes from. When I was a child my mother had an extensive collection of costume,native american,tribal, antique and more refined contemporary fine jewelry pieces. I was influenced by all of these styles, but after graduating from college, my first job was apprenticing for a fine jeweler. My technical skills were greatly upgraded but I realized my precision aesthetic of contemporary jewelry was also shared with my influence of more rustic and tribal styles, often reflecting the natural world.
