* ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE PASSION *
Being creative and crafting things by hand has always been a huge passion of mine. There’s something so special about giving, and receiving, something that has been lovingly made by hand.
In 2011 I completed a Silversmith college course in Oxford, and this started my obsession for designing jewellery and forming precious metals into beautiful tactile pieces. I now have the privilege of teaching others this fabulous craft during weekly evening classes in Oxford.
Each of my pieces are made by hand, by me, using traditional silversmithing tools and techniques - sawing, hammering, soldering, filing, sanding and finishing.
I use as much eco recycled sterling silver as I possibly can to make my jewellery. No purity is lost in the recycling process so the silver I use has the same quality as newly mined silver but is dramatically more sustainable. Nothing is ever wasted in my studio, I keep all scraps and small pieces of silver left over from any projects to melt down and incorporate into new designs, ensuring my work is as eco-friendly as possible.
Whether you're looking for a delicate necklace, a statement ring, or a pair of stunning earrings, my collections offer something for everyone. Browse through my work, and you'll find a reflection of my dedication to artistry and my desire to create timeless pieces that connect with the wearer.
How it all started…
I had been Nursing for nearly 20 years, but… on a sunny day in Oxford, sitting in a lovely restaurant with my sister, enjoying a glass (or two) of wine, putting the world to rights, reminiscing about the past and talking about the future is when it all happened… my sister asked me the question that ended up changing everything for me!
“WHAT IS IT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO?”
I think it took me all of a few seconds to answer that question and it quickly sparked a realisation that the dream of starting my own jewellery business could actually become a reality.
And so it began…
It started with a simple spark of creativity that ignited my passion for crafting exquisite handmade jewellery.
I found myself constantly drawn to the timeless beauty of jewellery and as I immersed myself in the world of silversmithing, experimenting with different techniques and materials, and fueled by a deep drive to bring beauty, craftsmanship, and a touch of personal magic into every piece I created the idea for my own jewellery business started to take shape.
My home studio, nestled in the beautiful city of Oxford, is where I now get to put my love for all things shiny and working with precious metals into practice, creating beautifully simple, sleek, classically designed jewellery and growing my small business piece by piece.
