I most typically make these or similar pieces of sterling silver. Upon request, I've made some of gold. If interested in options other than silver, please feel free to inquire, either by telephone (859) 448-1071 or by email, in which case please include reference number in the subject line.

Tired of that floppy old tie you have to keep adjusting all day long? Why not try this sterling silver bow tie instead?

This single creste di gallo (rooster's comb) made of silver is both simple and understated. At the same time, it has a presence that will get the best of someone's curiosity sometime during the day or evening.

Reference code: crestedigallo1

A most wonderful and unique piece of jewelry. A rotino serves as the support for an assortment of free swinging dangling pieces. In this case, cavatappi, a medium size macaroni, and two cheese wedges have been used.

Another pin made based on the form of the Creste di Gallo pasta. It's just a beautiful form unto itself which can easily stand on its own as a brooch. In this instance, I attempted to maintain the same essential simplicity while dangling from the inside of the pasta one macaroni and a cheese. I can see many variations on a theme developing from this one.

I've made this pin based on a form of pasta referred to as fiore or flower. Being both simple and complex, it's an amazing and striking piece.

Reference code: fiore1

Price:

$185.00

Although really unique as pasta goes, this is a truly beautiful object by itself and still one of my favorites from the pasta series. It's similar in many ways to the lasagna noodle but, rather than extending in such a flat fashion, it wraps around itself diagonally, taking on a vase-like quality. It could, in fact, be used to hold a small flower rather than pinning it to your lapel. A wonderful and elegant piece!
