Where it all began.

Long before Charming Quail™, my journey in jewelry design began with a chance meeting at a musical soirée. I met Tim, the owner of Davier Jewelry Design Studio (www.darvier.com), and our conversation that night changed the direction of my creative life. He offered me a position as one of his designers, and I spent several wonderful years immersed in custom jewelry design, learning from an incredible team of metal smiths, designers, and other jewelry experts.

This collection showcases the work I created during my time at Darvier—the initial sketches where each idea began, the production-ready CAD models I built for client presentations, and the digital models that were used to create the 3D printed or 3D milled waxes for casting. While the printing, milling, and casting were completed by other members of the team, I collaborated closely with them to ensure every detail reflected the client’s vision and the design intent.
