I've been making jewellery since 2004 and am always creating new designs and developing the way I work. I come from a textile background, with a degree in embroidery, which set me off on my path of exploring intricate details, subtle colour choices and delicate textures. When I'm working on new designs I can spend hours searching for the perfect colour of beads to work together to bring my vision to life.
I love the elegance and detailed finish of Edwardian and Victorian jewellery and dress, and the sumptuous fabrics and embroidery of the twenties and thirties. Both provide inspiration for many of my collections. I want to bring a sense of "time standing still" to the pieces I make.
My style is ultra feminine, sometimes pretty, sometimes classic, sometimes contemporary but always elegant and infinitely wearable today.
I work from my lovely quirky studio in Leek, full of vintage nostalgia and objects that inspire me. I enjoy working on bespoke pieces so do get in touch if you are inspired by my designs.
Commissioning a piece of work is really exciting – it is a chance to have something made especially for you and an opportunity to really engage in the creative process.
Perhaps you need accessories to go with a particular outfit or a piece of furniture to fit a specific space in your home. We can work with you to design something truly unique. You’ll be able to discuss your ideas, likes and dislikes with the Maker and together create a piece of craft, handmade for you.
This is just a first step, so don't worry, there’ll be plenty of chances to discuss details before finalising a commission.
