I create a range of unique silver (and sometimes gold) handcrafted jewellery from my home studio on the edge of Dartmoor. My inspiration is drawn from the textures and forms found in nature, which I bring to life using a variety of traditional and contemporary techniques. These include Keum-Boo (fusing 24k gold foil onto silver), casting, fusing, filigree, and the use of handmade silver granules within my designs.
I buy and also recycle my own scrap silver, often reworking it into casting projects, giving each piece a renewed life. I am currently working on a new collection using the Japanese technique of Mitsuro Hikime (lost wax casting )and using rock formation as my inspiration.
Prices range from £31 to £200
