From Lockdown to a consuming passion creating unique jewellery!

Welcome to my NEW shop! My journey into silversmithing began unexpectedly during the lockdown, when I decided to teach myself the art of working with precious metals. What started as a way to pass the time quickly transformed into a deep, consuming passion for creating unique jewellery.

Now, after years of honing my craft, refining my techniques, and building up my collection, I am incredibly excited to finally open my doors to the Folksy community.

My true love lies in the raw, elemental process of working with molten metal. I specialise in organic techniques like sand casting and bean casting, where the silver is melted down and poured to create completely unique forms. There is something utterly magical about the unpredictability of liquid silver—the way it flows, cools, and takes on a life of its own ensures that no two pieces I make will ever be identical.

Combining the fluid, textured nature of cast sterling silver with treasures like rare, ocean-tumbled Seaham sea glass allows me to create wearable pieces of art. Every item in my shop is designed, melted, cast, and finished by hand in my UK studio.

Thank you so much for supporting my independent business and following my silversmithing journey! I will be adding new Items daily :)
