My aim is to expose the beauty of natural stones in their myriad of shapes, colours and textures by carving unique shapes to mirror them, silver and stone in harmony throughout the necklace, one reflecting the other in sublime calm. Each stone is redrilled, burred and knotted so that these are lasting heirlooms. Classic ear rings, bangles and organic rings compliment the range.UK Hallmarked.

Selection of Landscape Ear rings :
A selection from my Landscape collection inspired by a cliff face, these ear rings measure up to 3.6 x 2cm and 8mm thick though there are smaller ones in the range of 1 cm x 1cm. Hallmarked. I always recommend smaller ear rings if worn with large necklaces so that the look is not overdone. Otherwise larger ear rings on their own.

Wishbone rings AKA Worry Bead rings :
These are very tactile rings that I first made for my degree show in 1996 but have remained part of my collection since then…They are based on the idea of Arab worry beads as so tactile and soothing to touch…Therapy rings people love! They come in two sizes and can be opened up or closed to suit the size people need. They measure approx 3cm in length
