Shop Announcement:

There are still a few Perfectly Imperfect pieces left, head to my Sale and Seconds section to find my perfect imperfect pieces, with between 20% to 50% off.

All of the jewellery pieces in this Folksy shop are handmade by myself in a lovely, shed studio in my back garden.

The handmade jewellery I make is inspired by nature, the coastline of my home Island of Mersea, meaningful words and the joy of simplicity.

Handmade in recycled sterling silver, recycled gold, sterling silver, copper, 14ct gold filled, and occasionally brass. Semi-precious stones, precious stones and beads are also featured in my work.

Thank you very much for your support.
