Welcome to the world as seen through my eyes. As an artist I have explored and created in many different medias during my journey.

Physical adornment begins with the very beginning of humanity.

Fine Jewelry is the most personal of all art and it is the one art form that you become physically and emotionally involved with as it can express the purest form of ones portrayed illusion. Jewelry represents the union between the fragile flesh of the body and the passion to show who we are through the art of adornment and it can dictate stature and achievement. Jewelry can reflect your emotions or change them; it can be the symbolic bond between you and another and hold memories for generations.

We are all such different people, it is very exciting for me to create with the light from diamonds, colored stones and precious metals a fine piece of jewelry intricately compatible with the wearer and their emotions.

Taking care of your jewelry:

All silver will tarnish a little over time if not cared for with a few simple steps. We have specially formulated cleaning solution and a polishing cloth for Karl and Audrey’s silver and gold jewelry. For unoxidized jewelry it is always best to clean your jewelry before putting it away by simply dipping it in our cleaning solution for about 30 seconds.

HELENITE

Known for its stunning and intense array of colors, Helenite can be found in shades of deep blue and burgundy. However, its deep green variety is the most prevalent and highly prized.
Helenite is created by crushing volcanic ash and rock and fusing it at temperatures as high as 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Its stunning colors have made Helenite an attractive alternative to rare emerald, ruby or garnet gemstones.
Helenite is named for Mount St. Helens, the Washington volcano famously known for its violent eruption on May 18, 1980. During the cleanup following that catastrophic event, Helenite was born. As workers used acetylene torches to cut through the twisted metal debris, they noticed that the gray ash was melting and transforming into a vibrant deep green color. The accidental discovery of Helenite has given the world a stunning volcanic jewel. From this great tragedy came a great beauty.
Crushed volcanic rock and ash was mixed with silica, aluminum, iron, chromium and copper, melting into a form of obsidianite. Proprietary pressurization techniques produce Helenite's vibrant evergreen, burgundy and blue colors. The resulting stone is then hand faceted to create stunning pieces of jewelry. Helenite is easily cut by lapidaries. The emerald-colored stone has an excellent refraction and quartz-like durability.
