About Me – The Story Behind My Jewellery

I’m a self-taught jewellery maker, based in the heart of the South West, with a strong connection to the natural beauty of my Cornish upbringing. The rugged coastlines of Cornwall and the untamed landscapes of Dartmoor have shaped my designs, infusing each piece with a deep appreciation for the world around me. My jewellery is a reflection of the organic beauty I encounter every day—whether it’s the glistening sea, the textures of the woods, or the unique treasures I find on my coastal walks.

In my work, I predominantly use sterling silver and gold, often incorporating copper and brass for added warmth and contrast. One-of-a-kind gemstones are central to my designs, chosen for their unique beauty and dramatic impact. Each piece is carefully crafted to tell a story, and every gemstone has its own journey, making each item completely bespoke and personal.

Living in this inspiring environment, I often collect natural treasures from the land and sea—shells, sea glass, coral, and other curiosities from Cornwall and Dartmoor. These elements bring individuality to my pieces, creating jewellery that is not only visually stunning but also deeply connected to nature. Each item I create reflects the wild places I hold dear, giving my customers the opportunity to wear something truly unique and meaningful.

While I’m passionate about my craft, I also balance my life as a full-time mum to three young daughters alongside my jewellery business. The journey of being both a mother and an artist keeps me grounded, as I continue to create pieces that are personal, reflective, and inspired by the world around me.

Whether you’re looking for a bespoke statement piece or a unique keepsake, my jewellery is designed to offer something special—each piece made with love, care, and the natural beauty of the South West.
