I Love Making Jewellery!

While photography was my first love, making jewellery is the thing that really blows my hair back. I have been told by a psychic that I was a goldsmith during the Incan Empire, and while I don’t know for sure that this is true, it is certainly something that feels deeply bedded in my being.

My journey as a silversmith began when I took a gap year in my post-grad studies and then went on to make a living for a short time from selling my work at markets and then my mom’s gallery. I am strongly inspired by the natural world, and the richness of global cultures and their creative spirit. Each piece I create reflects these influences — a blend of tradition, symbolism, and the organic beauty of natural materials.

I’m drawn to the raw textures, organic lines and the colours of nature and I allow them to guide my designs. I work with materials such as shells, feathers, crystals and semi-precious stones, not only for their aesthetic beauty but also for their energetic and healing properties. The metals too carry their own energy, and I work with fine and sterling silver as well as gold accents to create warmth, contrast and a sense of balance in each design. Many of my creations are designed as modern talismans — objects of intention, protection, and empowerment, and each piece I make is bespoke, a once off creation.

I have a deep love of traditional and ethnic design, and my travels are a source of inspiration and discovery as are the many books that I have collected or inherited from my mother.  I often return home with beads, stones and other elements and ideas that later find life in my pieces. 

My work is about creating pieces that speak to the soul — jewellery that feels personal, powerful, and meaningful. Whether you are drawn to a creation because of its symbolism, its healing energy, or simply its beauty, I trust and intend that wearing it will bring you joy.
