I’m a self-taught jeweller working in silver, gold and colourful precious stones. My designs are informed by my graphic design background, and strong shapes and negative space feature in my work. My pieces are wholly made by me in my Leicestershire studio; from 3D design and print, sand casting, traditional bench techniques and stone setting. I like to take a theme and go on an experimental journey to create unique, wearable forms and textures. My latest designs explore the repetition of formed and forged shapes, how they fit together to create something new, and how the balance changes with asymmetry.

Artist Statement
The sand cast sand surface of this ring has been enhanced to give it a distinct character. Embedded onto this textured canvas are richly coloured pink and green tourmalines. The top of the ring measures 25 x 15mm and sits on a rounded shank.
These earrings feature a unique combination of materials and textures. The upper portion is adorned with 24k gold keum boo, adding a rich golden glow, while the little tourmaline drops add a vibrant pop of colour.
The natural, organic texture of this sand cast pendant has been preserved on the inside, and is coated with the warm glow of 24k gold keum boo. The oxidised chain adds an extra twist, making this pendant truly unique.
These stunning silver studs feature the beautiful organic texture resulting from the sand casting technique. The inner surface is also adorned with rich 24k gold, applied with the ancient Korean technique of keum boo, adding a luxurious contrast to the cool silver.
