Biography
Through my jewellery I hope to create a blend of three things: firstly, good quality pieces that are made to last and can be worn daily without worrying about tarnishing; secondly, pieces that are affordable (and I mean actually affordable!), because high quality jewellery shouldn’t have to break the bank; and thirdly, uniqueness, I love to create pieces that have character and soul, and so I strive to offer a wide range of styles to suit all preferences and personalities. As well as this, many of my jewellery pieces are customisable (particularly on my website), since I want my customers to make sure their jewellery is exactly how they’d like it, whether that be through a choice of metal, length, colour etc. And so, I aim to create good quality, affordable, and unique jewellery, that captures the hearts of those who wear it.
inspiration
What inspires me most is the beauty and delicacy of nature, and so I love incorporating those aspects into my jewellery, whether that be through my use of natural gemstones or freshwater pearls, or in dainty gold chains that shimmer as they reflect the sunlight. And just like the flowers in Jephson Gardens, my jewellery features an array of enchanting colours, with some being more bold (in enamel) and others more pastel (in cubic zirconia). The materials I use inspire me, as I seek, through my designs, to enhance their natural beauty as much as possible. It is through sitting down with my materials and simply letting my imagination take hold, that many of my designs are born. I love to create pieces that reflect nature in their beauty, or their delicacy, or their colour — pieces perfect for everyday wear and also for special occasions.
medium
Since I aim for my jewellery to be of high quality, I use mostly 18k gold plated findings (occasionally 16k) for my gold pieces, and for silver I use mostly either sterling silver, platinum plated, or 304 stainless steel. As for the rest of the materials I use to craft my jewellery, I adore using lustrous natural freshwater pearls and shells, an array of gemstones, millefiori glass beads, enamel, cubic zirconia, lampwork glass… the list goes on! Some of my designs incorporate only metal, rendering them more simplistic, whilst others use a combination of these materials, making for more elaborate designs. It all depends on wherever my imagination leads me.
