About me

I work with recycled silver, gold, and vibrant precious stones to create unique, handcrafted pieces. From my studio in Leicestershire I employ a wide range of techniques, including 3D design and printing, sand casting, and traditional bench and stone setting techniques, to bring my visions to life.

Every piece is carefully made by hand, a process driven by my love for experimentation and innovation. I enjoy exploring new themes, constantly pushing my creative boundaries to develop distinctive wearable art with varied textures and forms.

My background in graphic design heavily influences my work, guiding me toward bold, striking shapes. Currently, my focus is on exploring organic forms, where I experiment with dimensionality and asymmetry to craft clean, contemporary designs.

More about my processes

Sand casting

Some of my jewellery is made with the sand casting technique, and I either hand carve a wax model or draw up a design in CAD before casting it in silver or gold. It's not for the faint-hearted as it involves heating metal to a super hot temperature and  hand-pouring it into a sand mould. I love the process, and how immediate it is compared to lost wax casting, because I can do the casting myself without having to send it out to a specialist. It does need a lot of clean up but the result is a little more ‘handmade’ and a little less perfect, which I love.

Also, sand casting has been used for around 5,000 years, and I'm totally fascinated that such an ancient method is still being used today. 

One-of-a-kind

I also create hand crafted, one-of-a-kind jewellery using traditional bench skills. Much of my pleasure in this process comes from sourcing the gorgeous gemstones for these unique pieces. Though I’ve probably got more stones than I have time to create pieces for! And I like to keep as much in-house as possible so I also do my own stone setting.
