ME AND MY JOUELLE JOURNEY
As well as the pieces you can buy on my website, I also accept
commissions. Each piece is designed and made entirely by me,
by hand, using traditional silversmith techniques and tools.A lot of intensive training with established jewellers followed.
Much cutting, bashing and melting of metal. I had to retrain
myself to look at things from a three-dimensional and functional
perspective by studying other jewellers’ work, visualising,
drawing, model making. etc.What I love about jewellery
is its ability to talk
My designs use simple lines, but with a nod to natural forms. I
love pattern and colour, but to make a piece of jewellery that
can actually be worn more than just once, requires discipline
and a understanding of the wearer. Most of us have our
everyday jewellery, the pieces we always wear and seem
never to take o , but there's always a special occasion where
something new and shiny is needed. I keep simplicity in mind
through all my designs, to satisfy both the ‘need’ and ‘want’
buttons we all possess.
