After practicing psychology for years, I discovered jewelry design and it has become my passion. The name “Sirona” refers to a Celtic goddess who is said to have been the source of healing springs located in Southern France. Drawing inspiration from my love of nature and the beauty of the Maine coastline, my contemporary artisan jewelry reflects my appetite for color in the richness, texture and sparkle of semi-precious gemstones, Swarovski crystals and fused dichroic glass.

Creating jewelry is a “pleasurable madness.” My designs range from traditional, classic, elegant and timeless, to whimsical and fun. I use only high quality AAA semi-precious gemstones with 14k and 18k gold in the Luxury Gemstone Collection. The Swarovski Crystal Collection and the Classic Stone Collection are made using 14k gold-filled, sterling silver or Argentium silver, while the Fused Dichroic Glass Collection incorporates gemstones with 14k gold-filled, sterling silver or Argentium silver. Other precious metals are also used. And, of course, custom requests are always welcome.

My name is Lindsey and I am a 23 yr old Elementary Education Major. I remember as a child watching my grandmother make beautiful ceramic pieces and I would spend hours in the studio with her, mesmerized by her work. I know that is where my love of glass and ceramics came from and here I am now with my daughter, doing what we love.

I love fused glass, and my dream is to be able to make a living with my art. My style defines me because I don’t conform with mass produced accessories, I make my own.

I can normally be found in my home studio fusing glass. Each piece I create is individually hand crafted and therefore has its own unique charm. I take great pride in the quality of every piece I create. All of my pieces have been hand cut, ground, kiln fired and properly annealed for durability in my studio. I see each and every one as a tiny piece of wearable art.
