Christina is a native Atlantan. While studying interior design at Georgia State University she began designing jewelry by taking the beads from her grandmother's vintage necklaces and making earrings. Upon graduating, she started selling her work at local art festivals, not knowing she was embarking on a journey she would still be on some twenty five years later. It's been a love affair that has taken her from vintage and Venetian beads to pearls and semi precious gemstone beads, which she hand knots on silk. Her designs are renowned for their timeless elegance, keen sense of color, feminine aesthetic, and exquisite craftsmanship. Selling her work through local boutiques and galleries allows her to balance her interior design business with her custom jewelry work.
