Today is the day when the jewellery awards are being announced.

I took a chance and booked a seat at the awards dinner (sooo expensive!).

Here’s hoping I win n but even if I don’t I’ll meet lots of interesting people experience something new.

I’ll keep you posted, make sure you’re following me ⬆️ to see what happens next!

Christmas came early!!

You never know what you'll find at an auction and I was lucky enough to find this stash of lovely gemstones beads.

I didn't really know what was in the box until I got it home and unpacked it all. What I found was a huge selection of gorgeous beads in all different colours, shapes and sizes.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them all yet but it's going to be fun experimenting! Some of them might even make it into the new collection I'm working on right now (follow me to see how it shapes up).

In the meantime I need to sort through them all and try to identify them.

Let me know which are your favourites in the comments and follow me to see what I make with them all!

For a long time, I knew something needed to change.

Nothing was terribly wrong. I was busy with family, work and everyday life but I felt stuck. I'd lost a bit of myself along the way and I hated the thought that in 10 years' time I'd still be in exactly the same place.

Going back to college in my 40s was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Not because of the qualification, or because of the skills I learned but because it reminded me who I was.
It gave me confidence, purpose and a new direction and most importantly, it taught me that it's never too late to make a change.

The things we put off are often the things we need to do most.

So I'll ask you the same question:
What's one thing you've been putting off?

Earlier this year I entered the Colour of Survival collection for the Professional Jeweller Awards, and it has been shortlisted for Excellence in Jewellery Design.

The collection was inspired by the salt lakes of Western Australia — landscapes so extreme that very little survives there, yet the organisms that do produce some of the most vivid colour on earth. I was drawn to that tension between beauty and hostility, and to what it means to thrive in conditions that should make it impossible.

The pieces combine sterling silver with hand-finished acrylic, with a detail I came back to throughout the making process: frosted on the outside, polished on the inside like the salt crystals around the lakes and the reflective lakes.

If you want award winning jewellery designed to be noticed, the collection is at roxwoods.com — link in bio.

I posted an Instagram story yesterday about being shortlisted for a Professional Jewellery Award and then immediately thought: the only person who would actually care about this is my mum, and she's not even on Instagram.
Then I started thinking about what the shortlisting actually means, and I realised there are a couple of reasons you might want to hear about it after all.
An industry panel looked at my designs and put them on the shortlist. They recognised something original in the work, which means if you wear a Roxwoods piece, you're wearing something that has genuinely been seen and recognised as different. All the research, the drawing, the testing, the hours of asking "what if”, it led somewhere.
And then there's this: Roxwoods launched in September last year. I started this in my 50s, which is not when most people decide to begin a whole new career. I stepped out of the shadows and discovered that when you do, things start to happen. A big part of what Roxwoods is about is visibility, not making yourself smaller because life has knocked your confidence around, not hiding away because of your age. I make jewellery for people who are done being invisible. This shortlisting is for them as much as it is for me.
So yes, my mum is thrilled. But this is also a story about how we can all change our lives, with a little bit of courage.

🌟🌟 Big news, I still can’t quite believe 🌟🌟

I’ve been shortlisted for another award - The Professional Jewellery Awards in the category of Excellence in Jewellery Design.

I launched Roxwoods last September so I have been going for less than a year and somehow I’am sitting here reading my name on that list.

I won't pretend I'm not a bit overwhelmed. This is the kind of thing I dreamed about when I went back to art school, when I was sitting in the studio at midnight wondering if any of it would come to anything. It turns out it might.

The winner is announced in September. Follow me to see how this unfolds, and keep your fingers crossed 🤞 for me 🍾

The Alloy cabinet at The Courtyard is dressed in purple and yellow this month. Purple for creativity, yellow for optimism, a cabinet full of pieces that are designed to be noticed.
If you are in Hereford, come and find them, and if you want to see where the cabinet goes next follow along, because I'm already planning something more ambitious.

As I was studying for my jewellery degree, I was also going through the menopause, and somewhere I noticed something had changed.

I started to feel less visible as though I'd somehow been quietly moved into the background and I didn't like it.

At 53, I wasn't ready to fade away. I was starting a new chapter, building a new career, and discovering what I was capable of. I still had ideas, ambitions and plenty left to offer.
That's one of the reasons Roxwoods exists.

I create contemporary jewellery for women and men who don't want to disappear into the crowd. People who want to express themselves, take up space in their own way, and be seen.

Because growing older shouldn't mean becoming invisible.

One wrong move and these earrings are destroyed.

Before silver can be formed into jewellery, it needs to be annealed — carefully heated to soften the metal after piercing and shaping. Too little heat and the risk is the silver will be too brittle and crack. Too much and the silver can easily overheat, distort or even melt.

I use a simple black permanent marker to help judge the temperature. As the silver heats up, the marker lines disappear, letting me know the metal has reached annealing temperature without overheating.

You shouldn’t have to choose between big statement earrings and comfort.

These earrings are made of a biodegradable material so lightweight you really can wear these earrings all day, and all night.

Designed and made in my studio in the UK, available on my website (link in bio).
