Biography
I create handmade sustainable jewellery, using recycled sterling silver and gold vermeil. My business has been created with an eco-conscious mindset, and I hold the strong belief that beautiful jewellery should be attainable for all budgets. I am growing my brand to be representative of female strength and rebellion, something which feels more important than ever going into 2025. All of my pieces are designed to be long-lasted and treasured, with 'affordable luxury' at the forefront of my mission.
inspiration
I'm inspired by the idea that jewellery should be an expression of your identity, with female empowerment & individuality at the forefront of my design asthetic. My work encompasses the idea that feminine beauty is not defined by the demure fragility that so much jewellery reflects.
medium
At present I work almost entirely in silver, with the occasional solid gold commission. All of my purchased silver is recycled, and I also reuse offcuts to melt down to create some of my more organic pieces. I reuse right the way down to the dust!
Most of my pieces are also available in gold vermeil, which is a plating process which uses a thick layer of 18 carat gold (& is therefore of far superior quality to traditional gold plating). My base metal is always silver.
I have a hallmark and all pieces are hallmarked (as required).
