As a skilled goldsmith specialising in jewellery repair and restoration, I bring the life back to worn and damaged pieces.
From heirlooms to everyday favourites, each piece is treated with the respect it deserves with a professional and high quality service, because your jewellery deserves nothing less.
Jewellery is a way of keeping memories alive.
My Story
From a young age, I discovered that working with my hands and learning visually helped me to thrive, especially as someone with dyslexia. Art and design quickly became a passion throughout school, eventually leading me to study it at Grantham College. It was there that I was introduced to the world of contemporary jewellery, learning foundational skills like crafting leather bracelets and wooden rings.
​
I then attended Plymouth College of Art (now Arts University Plymouth), where I deepened my knowledge of jewellery-making and while my studies focused on contemporary styles, my passion for fine jewellery quietly grew in the background. After graduating, I became a bench jeweller at The Great Frog, a renowned rock-and-roll jewellery company, where I sharpened my skills and was introduced to the fast-paced world of professional jewellery production.
​​
From there, I moved into freelance work, taking on projects such as stone setting and casting clean-ups for various jewellers. This led me to a position at an award-winning, high-end jewellery store where I worked as a repair Goldsmith. It was in this role that I truly found my niche and fell in love with the art of jewellery repair, which has since become my specialty.
​
When I’m not at the bench, I spend my downtime visiting art galleries with my partner, a talented graphic designer and printmaker. Creativity is a constant in my life, whether it's through art, games with friends, or simply relaxing at home. Our household also includes Bean, our four-year-old Exotic Shorthair Persian cat, who, according to house legend is the real boss. His playful charm keeps things light and joyful every day.
