Jewellery

I started making jewellery towards the end of 2005, but cannot remember what path led me there.  It must have been a link through my stained glass work and, I believe, through my discovery of lampwork beads and a desire to create a setting for them.  I decided to give it a go and a whole new world opened up for me: beads, findings, threads, tools!  A small fortune has been spent along the way, while finding the reliable suppliers and good quality materials on which I now depend to create my pieces.  I work with a wide variety of materials, from natural gemstones (a particular favourite) to handmade lampwork beads (not just my own!) to Sterling and Bali Silver and a particular love of Thai Karen silver.  Quality and durability always play a central role.  

 

The following gallery includes photographs and brief descriptions of my jewellery, to give you an idea of what I do. 

Someone once said of my work that it is 'varied'.  I couldn't decide if it was meant as a compliment or not, but I decided very quickly that I was entirely comfortable with the remark.
