About the artist
Member since 2008-05-08
When I moved from London to the South Coast a few years ago I rediscovered the gem shop my parents used to take me to on seaside visits. This reawakened my fascination with gemstones and became the starting point for a new collection of jewellery designs, inspired by the sea and the constantly changing shoreline.
I am currently working on several completely new design styles, and am hoping to show these at exhibitions during the summer of 2008.
Please remember that all the designs are adaptable and can be remade with different stones or shells, so if you like a design but would like to modify the colour of gemstone I will try to accommodate you, although I never make two identical pieces.
The designs are usually made in silver with precious or semi precious gemstones and seashells - although sometimes I find ceramic, glass or vintage beads which I just can�t resist incorporating into the pieces.
