My love of jewellery started at the age of six, when I first had my ears pierced. By the time I reached senior school my class mates used to joke that they never saw me wearing the same pair of earrings twice.

By the time I got married, my husband Paul starting complaining that I used to moan when my favourite pair of earrings or necklace were no longer wearable, as they had fallen apart or I'd lost one. This meant that I had a very high turnover of costume jewellery!

In 2003 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I found myself being taken back to my roots and having to re-discover myself. It was at this stage that I stumbled upon a Jewellery & Silversmithing course at the local college. It is now years later and introducing handmade jewellery into my life was the best thing I have ever done. It's so very rewarding seeing a piece of jewellery start out as chunks of silver and beads and then morph into a stunning piece of jewellery that you can wear.

I am based in Poole, Dorset where I have lived all my life. My jewellery is made in my own purpose built workshop at home.

My website is also designed and maintained by myself, which means you get my whole undivided attention from every aspect of your purchase. This way I can give it my very own personal touch and look after each and every visitor as an actual person, rather than just a "sale". I hope you enjoy my web-site and find something you love or maybe a gift for someone special.

I am always on the look out for new trends and love attending courses to increase my skills but best of all I love sharing my knowledge with others and also learning from other fellow jewellery makers.
