Our Story

Some stories take time to unfold. This is ours.

I grew up on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, surrounded by the rhythm of the ocean and the natural beauty of island life. For more than thirteen years, I created handmade jewelry using gold-filled and sterling silver materials, shells, Tahitian pearls, and designs inspired by the sea. That experience taught me that jewelry can carry far more than beauty—it can carry memory, connection, and home.

Frank’s creative journey began with fire.

For more than a decade, he has shaped intricate lampworked glass pendants by hand. Each piece is formed through patience, heat, movement, and instinct. His glasswork is vibrant, organic, and entirely individual—small works of art that waited quietly for their story to be shared.

Then, one New Year’s Eve, our paths crossed.

As our lives came together, so did our crafts. I began pairing Frank’s glasswork with gemstones and thoughtfully selected beads, transforming individual pendants into wearable pieces of art. What began as a simple idea became a shared creative language.

Form and Fire Studios lives where our two worlds meet: fire and flow, strength and softness, Hawaiʻi and Nevada, two different souls creating with one purpose.

Our work is inspired by nature, movement, mystery, and the places we carry within us. Every piece passes through both of our hands and holds something of the journey that created it.

More than jewelry, Form and Fire represents collaboration, transformation, and our belief that art is meant to be worn, experienced, and carried forward.

From our hands to yours.
