Fascinated by shiny things, bobbles, beads and craftsmanship, I started my jewelry ​journey at a young age. I graduated from college with a BFA in Jewelry and ​Metalsmithing in 2001 and have helped manage high-end jewelry stores for almost ​20 years. The Covid lockdown was the best thing that could have happened to me. ​I dusted off my crafting table and out of shear boredom, I started making jewelry ​again. And thus, The Dainty Dude was born.

In 2022, my wife got a new job in Fayetteville, Arkansas and we moved to “The ​Natural State”. Arkansas' amazing natural wonders, including the Crater of ​Diamonds, its beautiful nature, and some of the most impressive quartz crystal ​specimens ever unearthed, have inspired and influenced my art.

Since moving to Arkansas, The Dainty Dude has evolved into something so much ​bigger and impressive than I could have imagined. Throughout my nearly two ​decades-long career, I have cultivated relationships with reputable vendors within ​the jewelry industry making it possible for me to offer diamonds at amazing prices ​and work with my clients one-on-one to create their dream pieces— everything ​from engagement rings to those earring you love to wear everyday. The Dainty ​Dude will work with you through every step of the design process, from inception ​to delivery. Contact us for a free consultation!
