Reflection collection
This reflective square surface works so well with light. It transforms into different shades as your light sources change.
Sometimes, how I am is how my surroundings respond to me.

Hi friends, My journey began as an art student in Brooklyn, NY. I then worked in roles creating visuals of advertising for various companies and later in the world of glass art. I found my way into the area of fine jewelry as a creative director. And finally, I arrived at my maker passion in metalsmithing and creating fine jewelry!

About my work
I am the contemporary jewelry designer and metalsmith behind W8M Jewelry. Hand-hammered and hand-engraved pieces, along with organic-shaped gemstones set by hand, make the final piece uniquely its own. My passion for craftsmanship and attention to detail result in one-of-a-kind jewelry that reflects an individual's style.

Ethical Gemstones
Most gemstones come from members of the AGTA (American Gem Trade Association), who work to maintain the highest ethical business standards. Our goal is to resource all our gemstones from AGTA members eventually.

Ethical Metals
The sterling silver is sourced from refiners on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) list, which means they certify and independently audit that all supplies are traceable and conflict-free.

One of my dear friends is going through a tough time. I made this ring for her to celebrate her bravery and courage. Warrior ring is inspired by the Paris Olympics and its medals. I also realized that what we do every day to sustain ourselves makes us all the best athletes of our lives.

Awake statement pendant
A spark awakes in an icy, calming aquamarine. Fire aquamarine and orange radiant spessartine garnet are set on a botanic-inspired pendant. It is a one-of-a-kind piece with hand-hammered embossment and a hand-engraved pattern.

Hand-hammering took days to adjust and find balance in the shape, and hand engraving allowed more intriguing details that required planning and careful execution.

Gemstones are from a member of AGTA (American Gem Trade Association). AGTA members work to hold the highest ethical business standards.

We took a trip to visit my family in Taiwan in early summer. Travel has always been inspiring, and even though we mostly visited places I've been to many times before, these places now carry my fondest memories. Seeing friends or family members going through tough times wasn't easy. Still, I am lucky to have spent a decent amount of time with them, and I know it was magical for two of my loved ones to receive so much love and care from my side of the family.

Until next time, Taiwan!

I captured the images of this ring in the car while waiting for my son’s soccer practice and continued to edit all the clips into the final video. I’m glad I could work and be there for him simultaneously.
