The seedpods, flowers, buds and twigs in my botanical series are collected from my walks in the woods near my home. They are lost wax cast silver and gold originals of the actual flowers and branches that I gathered. This commitment to "live casting" insures that I must continually forage for or grow in my garden new material to be cast.

Amber studied metalsmithing at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina before she became a full-time jeweler in earnest. Her Botanical Series pushes the boundaries of what is considered possible in that medium. She has been described as one of the most exciting young jewelers working with "live" casting today.
