My current inspiration comes from the textures and patterns found in time worn surfaces eroded metals, fragments of old pottery, driftwood and antique textiles. These design elements are translated into a range of jewellery that includes rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings. I work mostly with silver, occasionally using gold to add decorative details. Texture is created through reticulation and hammered marks. The pieces are the oxidised and polished to highlight the surface.
