I am continuously delighted and amazed by the jewellery of ancient civilisations. Archaeological discoveries and the artifacts displayed in museums around the world are my source of inspiration as a designer. My passion is also connected with a love of gemstone and bead collecting during my travels. Ultimately my jewellery is an expression of timeless beauty and of adventure.

Welcome to my shop: Jewels of Ancient Worlds! I am continuously delighted and amazed by the jewellery of ancient civilisations. Archaeological discoveries and the artifacts displayed in museums around the world are my source of inspiration as a designer and maker. My passion is also connected with a love of gemstone and bead collecting during my travels, especially to New Zealand, Crete, and southern Spain. Ultimately my jewellery is an expression of timeless beauty and of adventure.
The oldest known piece of obsidian jewellery dates back to the eighth millennium BCE, and was a bracelet discovered at an archaeological site in Turkey. Snowflake obsidian gets its name from its inclusions of snowflake-like spherulites of cristobalite. Beaded jewellery and the use of diverse beads made of glass can also be traced back to the Ancient World. The very earliest remains of a thriving glass works industry dates back to 1365 BCE. Egypt. Evidence of silver jewellery reaches back to the very dawn of history. Silver was used as a currency in Mesopotamia; it was hammered, moulded, decorated, and worn the form of rings or bracelets.
