INTRODUCTION
Making jewellery is a lasting love. I first discovered my passion for metalwork while studying for an A Level in Jewellery Design during my Sixth Form years, which feels like a lifetime ago. I’m eternally grateful to the DT teacher who added it to the timetable, and let a clueless 17 year old play with a blowtorch.
​
Since then, I’ve gained a degree in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter, been a pearl threader, an enamel polisher, and a workshop assistant to one of the country’s most respected (and kindest) goldsmiths. In 2018 I relocated to the Cornish coast and now run my own workshop by the sea in Penryn.
​
After 15 years I’m still fascinated by the possibilities of jewellery design. I love how much meaning can be woven in, how much thought or history a single piece can hold, the connections between pieces and people, the possibilities of the materials, and the process of getting covered in grime and gold dust.
The most rewarding part is making ideas into reality. Whether I am making a minimalist wedding band, or an intricate bespoke necklace, the process brings continual joy.
​
As part of commission projects, I often spend time remodelling existing jewellery, deconstructing older pieces before joining them back together again. I love hearing the history of these wonderful pieces of jewellery, and am gifted little windows into the lives and stories of the families who own them.
BESPOKE COMMISSIONS
Jewellery is a beautiful way to mark moments in life. I believe the jewellery you wear should feel like an extension of you, reflecting and magnifying who you are as you move through the world.
​
Commissioning a bespoke design is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have a piece made uniquely for you or someone you love as a lasting, wearable treasure.
​
I take a creative and collaborative approach to design, drawing on over 15 years of experience to gently guide and bring to life your ideas. Whether you’d like to alter one of my existing designs or imagine something entirely new, together we will create a piece of your dreams.
WEDDING RING WORKSHOPS
My first workshop was tiny and cosy, barely big enough for one, and I was sad to say goodbye to it. Yet this led me into a much bigger space, and in 2016 I took the plunge and invited others in.
​
The first wedding ring workshop I ever taught was terrifying, wracked with nerves over whether the attendees would turn up or something would go wrong. But at 3 o’clock that afternoon we were all so happy, fingers still attached, and two perfect wedding rings sat on the bench before us. It’s one of my proudest moments.
​
I’ve helped hundreds of couples make their own wedding rings, forming lasting memories as they make the rings they will treasure forever, and it is still as special as ever.
