Since 2009, I’ve been an independent jewellery designer/maker, working in Cardiff, my hometown.

 

In 2019, I moved to my current studio in the heart of Whitchurch Village in North Cardiff.  

​

I use gold and silver and traditional methods to create my jewellery.  Gemstones are carefully sourced, and the gold & silver I use is recycled. or of Single Mine Origin.

​

As well as keeping a small stock of unique, ready-to-buy pieces, I take custom orders for jewellery.

 

My inspiration often comes from the materials themselves; taking cues from the forms of the stones, minerals and metals I use.  I enjoy exploring contrasts in materials, colours and textures. 

​

I am autistic; part of which makes my sensory relationship with the world unusual.  It informs my love of including sensory aspects to my jewellery. and also gives me an incredible ability to hyperfocus, which can be very useful.

​

Each piece of jewellery I make is made with the intention of inspiring the happy feeling of found treasure. 

​

I welcome visits to my studio, which can be booked here.  I hope I can make you something wonderful!
