Jewelry
Fine jewelry is Tira's fastest growing passion. She works with both traditional materials (gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and other precious stones (see below)), but she also uses nontraditional materials to create ultra unique and original pieces.
Ambigram Bracelet
Pass mouse over image to see Kim flip and change to GrS
Pictured is a stainless steel bracelet photographed prior to being bent. The center is an ambigram that says "Kim" when read one way, and "GrS" when roted 180 degrees. The sides are a combination of fine lining and a perpendicular cross hatch pattern, and you can see on the edge of the bracelet the phrase "Because Good is the Enemy of Great" in 1mm micro lettering.

Titanium/Sapphire Ring
To the left you can see a titanium ring with 3 flush mount sapphires. After setting the sapphires, Tira engraved the rest of the ring. Then she anodized the titanium ring, giving it vibrant colors. The stones are set in titanium, but the colorful anodization makes it look like they were set in gold.
In addition to the kinds of engraving pictured below, Tira also offers lettering and stone setting.
