I know i'm not the only one here obsessed with dumplings, because my instagram feed tells me so. #dumplings has 3M posts.
Over the last 20 years I have sold hundreds of dumpling charms, pendants, bracelets and earrings. Sometimes it is a food lover or chef that buys one of my designs but sometimes it is a grandma who calls her grandkids dumplings.
Dumplings come in many varieties and this week I was driven to make both potstickers and samosa at home.
And while I was at it, I came up with a new ChefJewelry design - the dumpling ring! Check it out here!
I began making jewelry as a way to relax from my crazy 30 year career as a professional chef. I worked in some great restaurants, taught culinary school and also published cookbooks.
Fast forward and jewelry making is now a full time gig. Along the way, I also became a GIA graduate gemologist and jewelry appraiser.
My wish is that each piece of jewelry I make has a life of it's own. Being a chef is very demanding but also incredibly rewarding.
I am not in the kitchen anymore, but my jewelry is!
All CHEFJEWELRY is made in my studio in Arizona.
