It starts with a simple conversation about what you’re looking for and the story behind the piece. From there, I’ll provide some initial sketches or concepts. Once we’ve settled on a direction, I handle the making from start to finish at my bench.

Because I work by hand using traditional techniques, please allow a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. This ensures I can give your piece the attention it deserves.

Often, yes. I enjoy the process of taking an heirloom that isn't being worn and transforming it into something contemporary that fits your current life. We’ll start with a technical assessment of your stones and metal to make sure they are suitable for reworking.

I choose stones individually based on their character and provenance. I only work with a small group of trusted suppliers who are transparent about their sourcing, ensuring that every stone has a clear and ethical history.

My PhD gave me a deep understanding of the materials I work with. It means I’m looking at the "why" behind the metal—how it reacts to heat, how alloys behave, and how to ensure a piece is built to last a lifetime. It’s about combining that technical precision with a traditional craft.

Yes. Every piece is sent to Sheffield Assay Office for hallmarking. This is your guarantee of the metal's purity and carries my personal maker’s mark, which is a legal requirement for precious metals in the UK.

The best way to keep your jewellery looking its best is to clean it occasionally with warm, soapy water and a very soft toothbrush. It’s a good idea to remove your pieces when swimming, exercising, or using harsh cleaning chemicals.

As our lives change, our jewellery sometimes needs to change too. Since I made the piece, I know its construction intimately and can usually resize or adjust it to ensure it still feels comfortable and secure.
