Unique Jewellery designer maker | York

ABOUT

About me

Looking to escape the world of finance, and to return to my passion for creating art, I finally found my "calling" a few years ago. I was offered the chance to retrain with Nik Stanbury and Julie Moss at York School of Jewellery, and I am currently based at the school in York.

Working with precious metals and gemstones, I love the process of bringing my ideas to life. Using traditional skills I transform flat sheets of metal into beautiful and wearable art.

I live in a rural village near York, and inspiration comes from my fascination for nature, for the textures, shapes and curves found all around.

About design

My jewellery is designed using elements from one of my observational drawings, creating unique pieces - with a few limited editions of some designs.

I also enjoy collaborating with clients on commissions, transforming ideas from imagination - to sketchbook - to reality.

I use a careful selection of precious metals, including sterling through to fine (pure) silver, 18 and 22 carat gold, together with precious and semi-precious gemstones.

Please contact me if you would like to arrange a commission.
