| My jewellery is inspired by the organic shapes and textures found in natural rock formations. The "meteorite" collection comprises silver and gold pieces that fuse not only different metals but also combine granular and smooth lava textures, that are then scattered with an unusual array of precious stones. The geometric pieces are influenced by North African architectural shapes.
Each piece is unique and combines various colours of precious metals. High quality stones are set into a whole range of jewellery: rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, cufflinks and tiepins, all of which can be designed to personal specification. Following my permanent move to Mani, Southern Greece, my inspiration started to diversify. In my new Natural Collection I began taking ideas from the seed pods, driftwood, pebbles and plants which are so prolific in this seemingly barren landscape. I decided to start combining organic, decomposable materials with precious metals, as the concept of juxtaposing fragility with endurance seemed to represent the feelings I have about my environment. My work is exhibited in various jewellery galleries throughout the UK and Greece and may be commissioned privately. |
