I love to create beautiful things. Every piece of jewellery is designed by myself and hand-made from start to finish. I use traditional tools and techniques to transform tiny pieces of metal into pieces of wearable art. I enjoy the process of creation, and the feeling of achievement at the successful completion of a technically challenging project. Making jewellery is fiddly, precise and time-consuming. It is also messy and dirty, ( forget beautifully manicured nails) but it is also very rewarding. Watching molten metal ripple and swirl, encouraging it to take on amazing organic textures and forms never ceases to fascinate me. Occasionally things don’t go to plan, but happy accidents can lead to something new and exciting. Making jewellery demands lots of patience. I love what I do, and I hope that in turn it will create great pleasure for its owner. I particularly enjoy being invited to create something really special to mark an occasion or create a family heirloom. There is something very satisfying about designing and creating a piece of jewellery that reflects the unique requirements of an individual or couple.
