Little Glass Clementine

My artistry is in revealing that beauty and value are interpretable, that a pebble can be as exquisite and as precious as a piece of Tourmaline or Emerald but it is the way that it is put together that is significant. I believe it is our memories and our stories that make us rich, and I try and give to the past’s ‘bits and pieces’ a new life. The old and the new sit side by side, creating pieces as rich and individual as memory itself. Each necklace is entirely unique made up of Antiques, gemstones, recycled jewellery and organic trinkets. These little treasures might be a ring from a past love affair, a pebble from a beach, a button from a grandmother’s box, gems from a broken bracelet, a single earring which has lost its partner, fabric from a favourite dress or pearls from the sea. I then intricately weaves them together using delicate wire fusing together the stories and the objects. While not compromising on beautiful design and craft, I hope to show that fashion need not be a commodity we feel guilty about, as our lifestyles adapt to our changing environment, but one we feel proud of.
