I have been designing and handmaking jewellery in London for the last 20 years and I have won a couple of prizes in design competitions.
My work uses vegetable ivory (a natural substitute for animal ivory), diamonds, and pearls, set in gold or silver.
One of my pieces was featured on the website of the British Jewellers Association for being the first time diamonds and vegetable ivory were combined together, in recorded history.
We have a presence in 2 of the permanent London craft-markets and we do many designer-maker shows in the UK.
My jewellery is original and very distinctive, full of colour and intensity. Im a conceptual jeweller and my pieces have names that represent the original idea before the design. All my pieces tell stories.
