Introducing

[a study of the gaps, the voids, the spaces between]

The Lacuna Collection was inspired by the book The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver, and her quote “the most important part of a story is the piece of it you don’t know.” I kept thinking about negative space, what we leave out, what we skip over, and began to design this collection about the spaces in between.

I absolutely love all of Amy’s designs, especially her earrings! They are a wonderful balance of delicacy and strength and they always makes me happy when I wear them. Over the years I have seen her work evolve and she is truly one of a kind and incredibly talented. I would highly recommend her designs for yourself or if you were looking for a loved one as a gift.
