2020 Halstead Grant Semi-Finalist

I’m very excited to announce that I have been selected as a 2020 Halstead Grant Semi-Finalist! For those who may not know, Halstead Bead is a jewelry supplier who hosts this annual grant to help support emerging jeweler artists. The winner receives $7,500 to kickstart their business plus an additional $1,000 certificate to use in their store for materials… super generous!

Though I was only selected in the Top 10, I feel very honored to be among other top emerging designers, especially as I have been working in inlay for just over a year now (and through a pandemic, nonetheless!). More than anything, this makes me want to work even harder to come up with even more innovative designs and keep perfecting this craft of lapidary and silversmithing!

Check out the images below to see the other winners! Aren’t they amazing?

Thanks for everyone’s continual support! I look forward to applying for the 2021 Halstead Grant next year!
