My jewellery is made from my studio in Sheffield, UK. Where design allows, I carry out every part of the process myself - from the first sketches and stone sourcing, through to making the piece, setting the stones, and finally the engraving.

I value keeping everything in-house because it makes the jewellery feel personal and deeply connected to the original idea, whilst also reducing the environmental impact of each piece.

I’m drawn to processes that leave evidence of the human hand behind, which is why I love hand-engraving so much. I think it’s the irregularities and tiny hand-forged details that make something feel special.

My work is rooted in the idea that imperfection is beautiful, both in jewellery and in people. For this reason, you will rarely find flawless symmetry in my pieces, but there will be lots of character and charm.

A look inside my creative process

My designs often begin with a pattern, I often notice small details in architecture or nature and get excited about translating them to metal. I design my jewellery to reveal more the longer you look at it.

  • A necklace with pink gemstone pendant and matching smaller charms, laid on a gray surface with jewelry sketches and coloring tools nearby.

  • Sketch and notes illustrating the design of an engraved green amethyst ring, including pattern details, water cast pendant, and front and back views, with drawing pens on the paper.

I find working with fire, force and raw materials really grounding. It’s also hard not to fall in love with gemstones - I’m drawn to stones with unusual colours and inclusions, those that would be hard to identify. I also use lots of smaller stones in my work to bring movement and colour to engraving. I source most of my stones from Hatton Garden, London, and always from suppliers who adhere to strong ethical practices.

Engraving

Hand-engraving sits at the centre of my work. I learnt to engrave because I’m obsessed with the way it looks, it’s the type of jewellery I wear myself. I specialise in bright cut engraving, where each line catches the light like a tiny mirror - it looks amazing every single time.

The best bit about hand-engraving is that it cannot be perfectly repeated, nor can the same effect be achieved by machine. Every line is shaped by natural human movement, leaving behind subtle differences that give each piece character. I think it’s these tiny differences that make handmade objects feel so comforting.

Engraving is a slow process, requiring lots of focus and patience, it feels meditative to me and I find it fascinating that it’s one of the oldest craft forms.
