Biography
Textured, organic jewellery that reflects nature, ideas coming from beautiful patterns, textures and forms found in our natural surroundings. Seeds, leaves, shells, flowers and other objects collected on walks around the country become templates, models or the starting point for an idea.
I work mainly with sterling silver, sometimes incorporating accents of gold, copper, semi-precious stones and resin. My pieces are handcrafted using traditional silversmithing methods enhanced by fresh, modern techniques and include pendants, rings, bangles, earrings & cufflinks.
Past commissions include designing and creating bespoke jewellery for people often based on a favourite leaf, flower or seed, brought from their garden or favourite place
