Me and my work

My work consists of jewellery using contrasting combinations of colour and texture which are achieved by the use of different metals, gem stones, enamel, felt, leather, wood or by selective patination of the same piece.

Where patination is the chosen theme, much of my work includes protection of the patinated surface by the shape of the piece.

My style of work has changed slightly over the years as you learn you need to adapt things for the market without compromise to your design and what you are all about. To enable this to happen each range that I produce includes pieces for every day wear and also those for more special occasions.
