Fine Jewelry and Art
I am a silver and goldsmith specializing in the creation of one-of-a-kind jewelry that unites timeless design with exceptional craftsmanship. Working with gold, silver, gemstones, semi-precious stones, and mosaic Roman glass, I handcraft each piece from start to finish, employing techniques such as soldering, casting, chasing, annealing, texturizing, stone setting, and the making of all findings and most chains.
With over 20 years of experience, my work reflects a deep commitment to precision, artistry, and the transformation of raw materials into wearable art. Born and raised in Maine, I draw inspiration from its rugged natural beauty, now enhanced by the vibrant light and color of Florida, where I currently reside. As a self-taught metalsmith, I allow intuition, skill, and passion to guide every creation, letting each piece emerge organically from my hands.
My jewelry is designed to be both technically sophisticated and emotionally resonant, blending elegance, innovation, and the enduring allure of precious metals and stones. Each creation is a reflection of my dedication to refined craftsmanship, storytelling through material, and the pursuit of beauty that endures across time.

The BeginningThere is a delightful loneliness when walking on the beach and collecting sea glass and shells. Walking on a beach is a soul cleansing experience and provides a wonderful opportunity for perspective. Everything is how it should be, nature controls the pace. I walked the beach every day during my son’s first deployment to Afghanistan. The worry a mother feels when a child goes to war can be constant and consuming. In the solitude of the beach; I found tranquility and peace of mind. I noticed the beauty surrounding me and started to collect sea glass and shells during these salt water therapy sessions. The sense of peace I found among the crashing of waves and vastness of water and sky was my inspiration to design these pieces of art. I hope these beautiful objects that nature has created bring you as much joy as they have to me. Jill Ross |

The First Gifts from the Ocean
This is the beach where I began my journey in December 2010 after my son left American soil for the first time. |
Mothers Day
Happy now my son is back on American soil. The quest for tranquility and piece of mind continues as does my journey. |
