About Me

Each I Adorn U piece has a personal narrative. I am influenced by my environment: a desert landscape, highlighted by the twinkle of the Las Vegas skyline.

I am also inspired by my Peruvian heritage and how my ancestors used gold. My interest in design came at an early age, as I remember admiring the detail and skill in the metal works of the Incas that I saw in books and later in the museums in Peru. The silver and gold artifacts are beautiful and I too wanted to work in the same media.  It is no wonder the Inca's used cool colors of silver to mimic the moon and gold as the warmth of the sun.

Each piece is handmade by Mary Beth Heishman.
