• Bespoke Training • ✨

I’ve just finished a wonderful two-day intensive course with the incredibly talented , helping to hone and refine her already impressive skills at the bench.

In just two days, we managed to dive into prototyping, design development, and stone setting techniques — a full-on but incredibly rewarding learning experience!

These bespoke sessions are always designed around the individual maker: their goals, ideas, and the direction they want to take their work.

Hopefully she’s leaving with a head full of inspiration, new techniques, and exciting plans for the future. ✨

I can’t wait to see where she takes these skills and designs next!

✨ New Website Launch! ✨

Today is a day of celebration (at least for me 😄) because I’ve finally finished and launched my brand new website!

It’s been a long time in the making and I’m so excited to finally share it with you — a new space to explore my work, commissions, and upcoming classes.

Have a look and let me know what you think! 💛

• Something Old & New • ✨

A ring reborn from recycled heirloom gold — carrying the weight of its history, but shaped for a new chapter.

Redesigned with an ancient Gothic-inspired motif, this piece celebrates the timeless nature of precious metal:
gold that has lived before, and will continue to live on.
Old memories, new form.

A legacy transformed — not replaced.

✨ The Best Week in Brighton ✨

A huge thank you to for such an incredible week!

It started with two days of filming for my upcoming online course on Mitsuro Hikime (stay tuned! 👀✨), followed by my two-day intensive Mitsuro Masterclass at the Brighton school.

It’s been such a wonderful experience, and I already can’t wait to be back for the next course in June!

A heartfelt thank you to Jess, all the amazing staff, the film crew, and everyone who made my stay such a joy and made me feel instantly at home. 💛

And of course… a massive thank you to all my students for being such a brilliant group. I can’t wait to see what you create with this technique — please stay in touch!

Also… to anyone who knows her from her courses at JA, I think we can all agree that is an absolute gem. It was so special to see you again after all these years — you’re a legend! ✨

🔥 Rising from the Sand and the Flames 🔥

A brave and bold sand-cast ring, celebrating the raw beauty of the casting process.
The organic texture formed in the sand has been preserved and enhanced, giving the piece a powerful, almost elemental character.

At its centre, a vivid purple amethyst adds a flash of colour and brilliance — a precious spark rising from metal shaped by sand and flame.

What do you think about this style? ✨

• Bespoke Training •

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of welcoming an incredibly talented aspiring maker who travelled all the way from America to study with me.
If that isn’t an honour, I don’t know what is!

She journeyed for nearly 24 hours to spend a week learning with me at the bench, surrounded by inspiration from the beautiful Italian countryside.
This was a bespoke training programme, designed entirely around her goals, ambitions and interests — making the experience completely unique to her.

It was an intense and rewarding week of learning, focusing mainly on stone setting techniques, with a sprinkle of alternative methods and creative exploration along the way.

An amazing experience for both of us, and I’m already looking forward to welcoming her back for the next learning retreat.

In the meantime, a few other students will soon be joining me at the bench for the same immersive experience.

• Engraving • ✨

An ancient, timeless art that has accompanied jewellery for centuries.

The metal becomes the canvas, the graver my pencil — and the possibilities are endless.

Here, a classic Greek pattern is reinterpreted in a contemporary way, hand-engraved to adorn a wide 18ct gold ring.

Timeless in origin, yet renewed in expression.
