Me and my work

Helen works predominantly in Sterling Silver, inlaid with colourful resins and pigments. The jewellery ranges incorporate geometric shapes and repeat patterns found in both organic and architectural forms, set off by the rich and bold colours of the resin units they encase.

These colours have evolved from a fascination with architectural details such as brightly painted ceramic tiles, coloured glass and vivid, naturally occurring palettes; such as flowers and earth pigments. This extensive spectrum of colours is co-ordinated throughout the year by trends in fashion and seasonal influences.

Recent collections incorporate precious and semi-precious gemstones and are available in both Gold and Silver.
