Looking for something special
A thoughtful gentleman popped in shortly after the New Year. He was looking for something special for his wife. Something very particular. He wanted a necklace with her birthstone and an infinity symbol and hadn’t been able to find the right thing. So we worked up a design for a custom piece. Only a few days later we hadContinue reading “Looking for something special”
Introducing Aurelia
Taking a page from late ancient Roman jewellery, the Aurelia collection showcases strong yet simple pieces, characterized by geometric shapes and prominent use of gems. The necklaces are a case in point: elegant in its simplicity the gemstone bead sits right in the hollow of your neck on a fine 9 karat yellow gold curbContinue reading “Introducing Aurelia”
Let’s create some new memories
Open your jewellery box(es) and take a stroll down memory lane, remembering where you picked up a particular piece, the special occasion it marks or the person who gave it to you. You’ll likely find some broken jewellery, single earrings and sentimental pieces you’re unlikely to wear again. Why not recycle these bits and piecesContinue reading “Let’s create some new memories”
Last piece for 2016
Ending 2016 on a good note. Although lots of thought went into the details of this commission, the go ahead came in quite close to the due date. Never shy of a challenge, I am delighted this one came together so well and on time. My last piece for 2016, gone to a lovely lass.

We can rework your gold into bespoke pieces of jewellery designed specially for you, unlocking the value of those precious metals while retaining the irreplaceable memories. Or maybe your jewellery box is littered with broken chains, single earrings, and pieces that seemed like a good ideaContinue reading “Something old…or is it new?”
Commission – Dog Brooch
A longstanding customer/collector wanted a brooch in the form of a treasured pet, so she could carry a reminder of him close to her heart. Hand engraved, carefully cut and polished, the final piece is an accurate facsimile capturing the animal’s poise and grace in sterling silver. Suitable for casual or semi-formal wear, a unique piece withContinue reading “Commission – Dog Brooch”
