About me
"I strive to create contemporary fine jewellery with a unique sense of colour and craftsmanship.
I love the idea that our jewellery is an individual collection of stories and cherished moments that we wear and carry with us.
Creating bespoke pieces using coloured gemstones is my speciality."
I live and work in South London, where I grew up, establishing my own workshop in 2002 at Cockpit Arts in Deptford. I completed my jewellery training at Birmingham School of Jewellery and Central St. Martins.
The fundamentals of my jewellery are colour, contrast and construction.
Gemstones are carefully selected and often individually cut for my designs. All pieces are handcrafted with great care from recycled and sustainable metals . The provenance of my materials is of great importance to me and the hunt to source the best is ongoing and enjoyable.
I work in a distinctly un-digital way, using simple tools and traditional techniques whilst aiming to create very sleek forms, concealing connections and fixings wherever possible, keeping the focus on the gemstones and their unique natural qualities. The end result is of clean, elegant designs with vibrant and beguiling colours.
