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

This unique ring is handcrafted in recycled sterling silver with a neon apatite set in gold. The multi-layered surfaces are hammer textured and the top of the ring is off-centre to sit over the adjacent finger.
These earrings are made with two curved lotus shapes intersecting at an angle. A line of flush set diamonds and pink sapphires follows the perceived vertical path.
This unique necklace features a large formation of lotus petal shapes layered around each other, set with London blue topaz stones. The pendant hangs with a concealed bail from a darkened chain for added contrast.
