I have been making jewellery for about 12 years, starting as a hobby, and eventually becoming my life. I have spent years learning the craft through various local courses including a Foundation Degree - but learning never stops and I'm always looking to improve and add to my skills. I hope you love my jewellery as much as I love making it. My work is mainly in sterling silver. I love the versatility of it, how such a strong unyielding material can be manipulated in so many ways into so many different forms. I often oxidise parts of my work for contrast and I add texture using various hammer strokes. I like to use small touches of gold here and there. My Buttercup range is based on simple naive flowers. These are delicate and understated, and have the hammered finish and oxidised touches I enjoy using. My childhood plays a major part in the design of these flowers; they are reminiscent of daisy and buttercup chains I used to make as a child, one of my earliest memories. Although they appear fragile, they are in fact quite robust.
