Copper & sterling silver jewellery - often quirky, always original

My life has come full circle and I love the way it's turned out for the end of my "career". I started out with art college but having been led to believe I was really something at school, when I got into the big league, I realised I wasn't that special, put my sensible head back on and went back to my original idea - getting a degree and working as a Librarian in Local Government for many years. I loved running the housebound library service but when my back gave in after too many book-wielding, van-with-no-power-steering years, I went on to working for Age Concern, again with elderly and disabled people.
Then I made a wrong move and went back into libraries but in a Chemical corporation - I so hated it! So then I moved back into the charity sector to organise information in a disability helpline, where I gradually reduced hours. At that time, I also started a silversmithing course, the best decision in years, it was like a duck to water and I loved every minute of it. I still go on lots of courses to brush up or learn new techniques with different materials, so I have added enamelling, silver clay, anodising aluminium and pewter etching and casting to my repertoire along the way.
When the jewellery bookings became too much to handle with working part-time as well, I gave it all up and now concentrate solely on the jewellery, ably assisted by my now retired husband Mike (my donkey at the craft fairs as I still can't lift, as well as my studio technician, very handy to have an ex-engineer!) and my inspiration, my toy poodle Zuzu.

Buying from me

Handcrafted and individual, often quirky, sterling silver and copper jewellery. Some designs incorporate enamel, brass, dichroic glass, semi-precious stones and also pewter. My latest range uses old bronze pennies and halfpennies, cut out with a fine-bladed jeweller's saw (not laser cut!) and made into pendants.
I aim to despatch within 3 days using the Royal Mail Signed For service but usually manage next day.
