About Me

My work & the inspiration behind it

Origins

I am a self-taught experimenter, mad scientist, whimsical creator, artificer type. A girl in goggles. I always wanted to be a blacksmith; as it turns out, being a jewellery designer and maker suits me so much better. (The hammers are smaller!)

My workbench

Where the gods of chaos reign...

Inspiration

I love miniatures, tiny worlds within worlds and delight in micro details, rock pools, mossy logs, the underside of a leaf, a whole galaxy formed around a pebble. My fascination with these natural treasures comes through in my work.

Process

I pick up my materials and start from there. I rarely design anything on paper and when I do the finished result hardly ever turns out like the design, I always go off on a tangent, but it usually turns out for the best.

My Jewellery

I want to enchant people with my jewellery. If I can share just a little bit of my magic through my work, then that's a piece I can be proud of.

Materials

All of my precious metals are sourced in Britain, I would say around 95% of these (or more) are refined from scrap pieces. The gemstones I use come from from all over the world. I buy direct from cutters where I can, when I buy from gemstone suppliers I ensure they have an excellent ethics statement.
