My eclectic brand of jewellery was born out of a love for vintage jewels, the art of
recycling and a passionate need to create.
I live and work in the beautiful Devon countryside and am constantly inspired by my
amazing natural surroundings. This explains the wide array of flowers in my work! Entirely
self-taught and having never been in a jewellery making course means I don’t feel bound to
any methods. My work is constantly changing and evolving in style, a true and honest
expression of my creative energy. Each piece I make is unique and has a personality of its
own just like its wearer.
If you would like me to make something especially for you whether it is for a wedding, a
grand night out or just a treat for yourself or a loved one, do get in touch with me – I love
making that something special with the wearer in mind.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Modern jewellery entirely made from vintage materials that are painstakingly salvaged and
recycled from old costume jewellery. These treasures of Lucite, glass, Swarovski crystal and
enamelled metal are combined with modern gemstones. In keeping with the ethos of
recycling, I use reclaimed high quality old findings and previously unused parts that were
destined for jewellery in the 1920-1950’s but have lain in a warehouse ever since – until I
reincarnated them!
High quality findings from makers such as Miriam Haskell, Sarah Coventry, Weiss and Coro
are often featured in my work, as do metal flowers that I enamel myself. Gemstones are
hand picked and are of an exceptional standard. Ear wires are either sterling silver or 14K
gold fill and are hand crafted.
Attention to detail and design sensibility means that each piece is unique and a work of art
that is timeless.
