Carved in beeswax. Cast for a lifetime.
My story with jewellery began as a teenager. At sixteen, I would spend hours handmaking pieces from clay and wire, or reworking treasures I’d found in antique shops. Those early experiments sparked a fascination with how jewellery could transform the body and hold meaning far beyond its form.

That creative instinct eventually led me to study fashion, and later to work in luxury design. At The Vampire’s Wife, I worked alongside the Creative Director, helping to shape a brand admired for its romantic and enduring aesthetic. Fashion sharpened my eye for detail and design, but jewellery always stayed with me. Unlike clothing, which moves with the seasons, jewellery endures. It carries stories, intimacy, and permanence.

This truth is woven into my own life. My dad made my mum’s engagement ring by hand — imperfect but unforgettable, alive with sentiment. Years later, my partner proposed to me with his grandmother’s ring, another heirloom steeped in memory. These experiences confirmed what I had always felt: jewellery’s true beauty lies not in perfection, but in the histories it carries.

Today, from my London studio, I create jewellery through ancient beeswax carving and lost-wax casting — a process that has been used for over 6,000 years. I begin by purifying beeswax and carving each design by hand, before casting it into 100% recycled gold or platinum at a specialist London casting house. This method captures every nuance of the carving, preserving the organic textures and tactile lines that define my work.

For me, jewellery is a continuation of stories. Each piece is made to be worn, to live with its owner, and to be passed down. It is ancient and modern at once: rooted in timeless craft, yet shaped with a contemporary sensibility.

This is jewellery designed not only to adorn, but to endure.
