About me

I am a jewellery designer/maker based in South Warwickshire. I love creating different textures on sterling silver as part of my designs, which are often enhanced with semi-precious stones and, occasionally, with yellow and rose gold. 

I studied geology at university and have always been fascinated with metals, minerals, and gemstones. I attended evening classes and part-time courses in silversmithing and jewellery making for several years, and finally decided to leave behind academic publishing and make my hobby into my job. I now work from my small workshop at home.

If you are interested in any of my designs and would like to commission something as a special gift or as a treat to yourself, please do get in touch.

Hallmarking

Hallmarking is a legal requirement for all items containing 7.78g or more of silver or 1g or more of gold, although items below these weights may also be hallmarked.

​

The full traditional hallmark comprises five marks:

​

• Sponsor's mark (or maker's mark)

• Traditional fineness mark

• Millesimal fineness mark

• Assay Office mark (leopard head for London)

• Date letter mark (changes each year)

​

My maker's mark is registered at the London Assay Office at Goldsmith's Hall in London:
