About Silverthread Designs

I've been working with silver for almost 25 years. I began taking classes in Columbus, Ohio from a wonderful woman named Wilma Cecil. I immediately loved metal as an artwork medium. Then I moved to Austin, Texas to study architecture at the University of Texas. While I was there, I further developed my silversmithing skills by taking classes in the school of fine arts. I graduated with a degree in architecture in 1997 and moved to Houston, Texas where I practiced architecture for the 17 years. My jewelry, of course, is influenced by my architectural education. The balance of form, scale, and texture is as important in a small piece of jewelry as it is in a large building. I take care and pride while creating each design. I hope you will enjoy each piece as much as I enjoyed making it.Read their story
