Quirky, unique handmade jewellery

Jewellery making is a passion that I have maintained my whole life.

I have been making jewellery for the past 25 years. My primary focus for the majority of that time has been glass and crystal beads, but in the last couple of years I have added three new ranges to explore – polymer clay, resin and wood.

I am inspired by music, nature and the sea – it is no coincidence that when I am feeling flat, or low, I am drawn to the coast for a beach-side walk, to listen to the waves, wave at the passing doggos, and feel my troubles ease away.

I live in rural Northamptonshire with my partner Jay, and our two cats, Herbie and Betty.

My 25+ years of experience has taught me the skill and precision to hand turn each wire and loop in my items with care. The challenge of creating something unique and new with each item is something I really enjoy. My passion for creating is evident in the beauty, quality, and uniqueness of each piece.

I also enjoy the process of self-learning. It is an invaluable skill that allows me to continually expand my knowledge and stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends.

Travel is one of my favourite past-times and it’s one of the most inspiring ways to get my creative juices flowing. My trips provide me with endless ideas for colour themes, styles, and concepts that I use in my work. Whether it’s a coastal trek or a tranquil lake in the woods, I’m always finding something new to draw inspiration from.

I aim to be as sustainable as possible in my work, so I avoid using plastics and acrylics in my creations, unless they are upcycled. All of my packaging is made from recycled and/or recyclable material. I take great pride in my work and ensure that each item is created with passion, care and attention to detail and I hope that my customers can appreciate the effort that I put into my work and the commitment to sustainability that I strive for.

Everything I make is made with love.
