My love for jewellery started when I borrowed my Granny’s pearl earrings and crystal necklace. It was a love story that was to follow throughout my life. I then started making my own jewellery as a hobby. In 1993 and onwards after opening several clothes shops in West London I realised I could provide my customers with unique jewellery to match their outfits. I adore unique/vintage glass and crystal and together with pearls this makes up much of my collection. I love the collaboration between the old and the new and will often up cycle a vintage piece of glass to create a more modern look. In recent years I have moved into semi precious stones and enjoy learning about their various properties. I retired from the clothing industry in 2016 returned to making jewellery full time and started selling at corporate & artisan events.
