“Bird in Hand,” is made primarily in
hammered green gold set with
diamonds, rubies and turquoise. The
signature pendant uses the symbol of the
“hamsa” (or Hand of Fatima) combined
with a golden bird.  The bird is another
universal symbol that alludes to the
human yearning for transcendence and
flight, both physically and spiritually.

Fused together, these images create a
new meaning, a more modern take on
ancient ideas.
