Where flat becomes form
I'm drawn to the way nature folds. Rock strata pressed and buckled into mountain ranges over millennia. A line that curves back on itself until it becomes a surface, and a surface that becomes a form. That movement — from flat plane to complex three-dimensional shape — is at the heart of both my design and my process, since goldsmithing is, in its own way, an act of folding: shaping flat sheet and wire into something with volume, structure, and movement.
Inspired by nature
Every piece starts in the workshop, shaped by hand. Depending on the design, that might mean working the metal directly, or carving an original in a material better suited to capturing fine detail, then casting it using traditional lost-wax methods — one-offs and small batches alike are made this way, piece by piece, never mass-produced. The process is chosen to suit the piece, not the other way around.
Crafted by hand
All of my work is made here in the UK, using as high a percentage of recycled precious metal as I can source. Offcuts and filings from the workshop are recycled back into future pieces, so very little is wasted. Sustainability, to me, isn't a marketing line — it's a making practice: less waste, less distance, materials given a second life.
Focus on sustainability
Each range explores a different kind of natural contradiction — movement held still, liquid made solid, a flat plane folded into volume. What they share is a fascination with capturing a moment that shouldn't be possible to hold:
Rockfall — the fracture and fold of stone under pressure, rock strata caught mid-collapse
Cascade — water finding its path, folding and doubling back on itself
Molten — the contradiction of liquid form fixed in solid metal, caught at the instant it stopped
Translated into wearable form, these become pieces designed to be worn close and lived in — personal, expressive, and built to last, not just to look good in a photograph. Each range can be personalised, so your piece is made for you.
