"I discovered Dora 20 years ago at a summer art fair in Evanston when I bought my first piece of her jewelry. That was the beginning of our collaboration of creative sharing and respect for artistry. I continue to purchase Dora's creations and she continues to help me realize my own creative jewelry ideas by making them a reality. Sometimes I bring in a collection of bits and pieces of precious gems that are waiting for a recreation and together we brainstorm on the possibilities. Many times she has helped me redesign a piece of jewelry to be more wearable in an updated style. Dora has a knack for seeing what can be done and for interpreting my feeble attempts at explaining what I see in my minds eye." – Vickie B., 2026
