‘Hammer-born’ is a heavyweight but delicate solid sterling 925 silver bangle, weighing over 25 grams. The surface has been textured with hammering, which gives a gorgeous dimpled appearance, and it is completed with fold-formed creases.
£190
’Amethyst Waves’ is made from sterling 925 silver, which has been textured with a rolling mill to give a ripple effect. The stone is a triangular bezel set trapiche amethyst. Trapiche amethysts have bands and patches of varying colour within them, so the back features a cut-out to allow light to enhance the colour of the stone.
£145
‘Amethyst Tear’ is made from rectangular sterling 925 silver wire, forged into an expanded curve at the lower edge. The finish is mirror on the inner and satin on the outer surface. It is bezel-set with a beautiful light coloured amethyst, with the backplate pierced to allow light through the stone. It hangs on a chain that passes through the metal of the loop. The chain is included.
£150
’Shimmer Leaf’ is made from sterling 925 silver. It has the veins of a leaf very lightly textured on the surface, and has a small bezel set moss agate, with the pendant pierced behind to show the stone’s colour. The stem curls to make a loop through which is a soldered asymmetrical bail, allowing it to hang elegantly from a chain or leather thong. The back has a mirror finish.
£105
’Twisted Pleasure’ is formed from thick sterling silver 925 wire, with spirals to one side, and a small loop at the top which allows it to hang beautifully from a chain or leather thong. The thick wire has been filed and polished to a thinner diameter in the spirals.
£175 (Awaiting Hallmarking)
’Twist Around’ is made from thick silver wire with an asymmetric twist. It has a mirror finish, and has three small soldered rings to allow it to hang beautifully from a chain or leather thong.
£105 (Awaiting hallmarking)

Recycled silver and environmental awareness
The majority of the sterling and fine silver I use is purchased from reputable bullion dealers in the UK. I only buy recycled silver, as this reduces the need for mining and extraction. A small number of items are made from sterling silver from repurposed silver eg spoons, napkin rings. In this case, the previous hallmarks are removed, and the finished item of jewellery is sent for hallmarking as normal. I will mention in the description if the item contains re-used silver, as I think this makes the piece even more special! I sometimes use copper, brass or gold with the silver, and try to use recycled metal for these too. Some of my copper is off cuts from a major manufacturer that would otherwise be scrap. I use recycled packaging sourced from companies with good environmental policies- and sometimes you may notice the envelopes have been used before! I think jewellery should be made and distributed with as little environmental impact as possible.
