Every piece of jewellery holds a story; from the design and materials, to why it was made and who wears it. It's an expression of your narrative and personality. I enjoy working on bespoke commissions in order to bring a client's story and vision to life. I hand craft each piece in my London studio and, as a trained architect, design, precision and the importance of ethical and quality materials are at the heart of my work.

Sending these diamond x's off to their new owner today. 18ct white Fairtrade gold set with champagne diamonds from Australia. The crisp 'x' design with the princess cut, square diamonds is a personal favourite.
⁠
Although these are the last pair I have of this size for 2021, I do have a larger version of these available as well as one mini pair in yellow gold and round, diamonds (image 2).If tempted, please get in touch 💎 😊

GARNET & DIAMOND EARRINGS - Part 2 of 2⁠
⁠
And here they are in all their swinging glory! All the gold components were handfabricated and made for one of my first clients.⁠
⁠
14k gold earrings with a single garnet and diamond in each. A 7 x 5mm emerald cut garnet hangs at the bottom in a rub-over setting with 'V'-shaped cut-outs on the long sides. The garnets hang from earring hooks featuring a a 2mm diamond at the bottom in their own tapered rub-over settings.⁠

Happy to be able share the process photos of these garnet and diamond earrings! I designed and made these for a German client who I have known since I first started out as a jeweller. In fact, I still had small parcel of her gemstones to use as well from when I repurposed parts of her three rings from when I made her son's engagement ring. ⁠
⁠
This commission was inspired by my client's recent inheritance of a jeweller suite from early 20th century garnet and gold jewellery. The suite included a brooch, necklace and ring but no earrings, which is where this commission comes in.⁠
⁠
She wasn't after matching period jewellery but instead something contemporary and with new, emerald cut garnets. I proposed a few ideas, including some that would reuse her existing tanzanite or diamonds. As you can see she went with the diamonds 💎 🙂
⁠
Process photos as per usual. I will post the finished earrings soon!⁠ 📸

FACETS.⁠ ⁠ Bespoke wedding rings for a fun, Lo

FACETS.⁠
⁠
Bespoke wedding rings for a fun, London couple I met at @MostCuriousWedFair before the world shut down. Both in 14k recycled rose gold, one with crisp, filed facets, the other with shiny, polished facets.⁠
⁠
Our first consultation took place over Zoom, and originally, they were undecided about the gold colour they wanted - probably yellow, and maybe one wanted rose instead. However, when they came to meet me at the workshop and had a look at the samples, they both ended up unanimously choosing rose gold and the same random faceted texture. The only difference was the finish: one wanted crisp filed facets, the other shiny polished ones.⁠
⁠
📸 Process shots as usual. Particularly proud of capturing 'the pour' when I tipped the melted gold into the ingot mould (Image 4, video).⁠
