I trained at the Cass in London in both silversmithing and jewellery. It allowed me to pursue a dream to work with the beautiful materials that nature provides us with. I am always looking to combine different varieties of pearls such as freshwater or akoya with gemstone beads. I love using Ruby, sapphire, emerald and tanzanite to name a few, in harmonious ways that result in us feeling empowered and happy when wearing the right stone for us. Also building a set around a birthstone can make a wonderful gift.

I offer a restringing and remodelling service too, it is always a pleasure to restore an unloved broken piece of jewellery, as far as I am concerned sentimental pieces carry so much feeling and emotion. It is a privilege to turn them into treasure once more.

I am also happy to make pieces using gems you may have purchased on your travels and never got around to making them up into wearable jewels.
