A little bit about my story
'Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart' - Ancient Indian Proverb
The inspiration for my work comes from the environment I am surrounded by; firstly with something that catches my eye, and then when it touches my heart I set about trying to capture that feeling within a piece of timeless silver jewellery. For example after visiting Venice I was inspired to make jewellery with a gently hammered surface reflecting the ripples on the water of the canals.
After attending a silversmithing and jewellery making course at West Dean College, I set up my own studio at the foot of the South Downs in West Sussex. In search of a new creative landscape, after 5 years I moved to Devon and have lived and worked here since 1998.
I am always happy to discuss variations in my designs and the use of different stones or beads to suit the customer and therefore create something totally individual.
Everything is handmade using recycled silver (with the exception of some of the ear wires, chains and clasps). No two items are completely identical but that is the charm of handmade. I hope you will be happy with, and enjoy wearing your unique piece of lovingly made jewellery.

The Team
As you can see I am a 'one woman band' from design and production, marketing and sales to admin and finance, that's the life of a small business owner, you have to be able to do it all! My favourite part is being in my studio but the most rewarding is having happy customers.
