Keep it simple

I am an independent jeweller who started studying silversmithing at local evening classes and then went onto study and experiment on my own with added short courses at the Birmingham School of Jewellery for the more technical and abstract parts of my trade.

The limited edition, seasonal collections are handmade from the highest quality hallmarked solid sterling silver and 9ct, 18ct gold and Vermeil (18ct yellow gold on top of sterling silver). I take great pride and care to design pieces that have a real attention to detail so that you will have pieces of jewellery that you will treasure for years to come and even pass onto the next generation.

In my little workshop overlooking the Shropshire countryside where I live, I create pieces that showcase different textures and styles that can be wrought from a piece of metal. Techniques such as as reticulation, forming, hammering and chain mail.

Simplicity and elegance are my key words and I even have them painted on the wall above my work bench.
