Welcome to my blog

When people ask me what I do, I smile and say, “I make jewellery that holds memories.”

I’m a jewellery designer and maker, working from a small studio at the bottom of my garden. It’s my own little haven, filled with tools, sketches, colourful drawings from my children and plenty of inspiration. From here, I create keepsake jewellery that holds stories, meaning and the people we want to keep close.

I specialise in memorial jewellery made with ashes, and I never take for granted the trust involved in creating something so personal. It’s a privilege to make pieces that honour treasured memories and relationships. Every ring, pendant or bracelet has a story behind it, and I feel lucky to play a small part in that story.

Family life and my jewellery business

Like many people, I balance a few different roles. I’m a mum to two wonderful children, a wife and a business owner. Time in my studio fits around school runs, family meals and the quieter moments once the house has settled for the evening.

That rhythm has become part of the way I work. My jewellery business sits alongside family life, and I think my work is all the richer for it. The love, laughter, chaos and occasional tears of everyday life find their way into what I make.

Why I love what I do

To me, jewellery has always been about more than how something looks. It’s about connection, and how one small piece can hold a lifetime of meaning.

I meet people at tender and important moments: when they want to remember someone they love, celebrate a milestone or hold on to a fleeting stage of life. I turn those feelings into something lasting and tangible, made to be worn close.

When I package a finished piece and send it on its way, I feel proud that my hands and skills have helped create something so meaningful.

More than just jewellery

My work is about people as much as it is about metals and stones. It begins with listening and understanding, then carefully turning someone’s feelings and memories into a piece they can carry with them.

That connection with my customers and their stories is what keeps me at my bench, even on the long evenings. Jewellery, for me, is life, love and memory made tangible. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
