From a young age, Tekla has had a passion for collecting rocks, minerals and fossils.  She has a degree in Geology and has carried her passion for the earth’s beauty into her  jewelry design. Tekla seeks out unique stones that tell a timeless story, whether it is a  one of a kind picture jasper or a hand mined piece of turquoise set into a copper or  silver setting. She loves being in the Naples Art District where she can share her  jewelry making process and the history of each stone she sets.
