Happiness through Original Design

Welcome to my shop, I design and make elegant demi- fine jewellery and objet d’art in my studio in Bedfordshire. Inspired by nature and influenced by the forms, textures and colours of my garden and surrounding countryside, my collections are handmade with passion.

I trained at the City Lit, London, under a number of distinguished jewellery designers. After completing my training, I worked for an international jewellery company, progressing to the position of Head of Design and Production.

In 2007 I founded my own successful jewellery company. I exhibited at various contemporary craft and fashion events and trade fairs across the UK and was featured in various publications. My collections were stocked and showcased by a range of amazing craft boutiques and jewellery shops across the country including Tate Britain.

I slowed down designing/making when I had a child and my expected three month maternity leave was extended by a few years! Creating has always been part of my life, my mother’s jewellery box is testament to this. I will continue to develop my style and always look forward to exploring new materials and developing my designs.

Techniques

I create a range of pieces from the intricate and elaborate to the casually simple using repurposed objects, semi-precious gems and precious metals. My creations use a combination of different techniques including silversmithing, wire wrapping and weaving.
