My introduction into the jewelry industry in 1979 was managing the sales department for a jewelry equipment supply business in NYC. I progressed into sales in the fine jewelry industry in 1987, and then into jewelry designing/manufacturing. The most rewarding aspect of my career in this industry is the actual hands on fabricating of my designs from scratch. My work studio is where I spend my time producing my newer edgier hand wrought designs in 18kt gold, silver, special mixed precious metals and at times platinum. The balance of my days are spent in my jewelry boutique in Chatham, NY. Please make it a point while in the area to stop in and visit !! 9 Main Street, Chatham, NY 12037. 917 971 4662
Joane is an absolute sweetheart, and her jewelry is truly brilliant — both in design and craftsmanship. We purchased two pieces, and the quality and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Each piece feels special and beautifully made. We can’t wait to add more of her work to our collection.

The most gorgeous, high quality, amazing work I have ever come across. I’ve acquired so many of Joane’s pieces over the years - they are incredibly thoughtful, powerful, and beyond exquisite. Nothing else comes close!

A lovely shop run by a wonderful artist — I came in to ask about a custom earring, and Joane patiently and helpfully guided me through the many choices to reach a shared vision. The result was beautiful, and all of our interactions leading up to it a treasure. I'm delighted to have found her and looking forward to return.
