Hello!

I’m a jeweller based in Hackney, East London. My route into jewellery making was not a traditional one; I studied fine art and discovered wax carving and lost wax casting whilst making a bronze sculpture at university. Having previously flitted between various materials and techniques, I found myself captured by this process and all its possibilities. From here, I went on to learn about wax-carved jewellery and started making rings. My work now incorporates various silversmithing techniques, but the wax-carved method remains my specialism and favourite way to create jewellery.
