Design

​

My designs emerge from a sculptural approach to jewellery, where form and material are guided by intuition and resistance.
Symbolic animal figures, archetypes and instinctive shapes recur throughout my work, becoming mirrors of human nature.
Each piece is conceived as a small sculpture, meant to be worn or held.

​

Materials 

​

I use only recycled materials in the production. My pieces are all made of certified recycled sterling silver - Eco Silver. Chains as well as the so called findings (i.e. connectors and ear scrolls) are also made of recycled silver. Eco silver is sourced at Cooksongold and recycled silver (chains and findings) at Moderne Bijou.

Gemstones

​

I use a small amount of lab-grown gemstones for my pieces. Lab-grown gems are chemically and mineralogically identical to their natural counterparts and are grown by fairly paid professionals in a safe environment, which makes them a more sustainable option. Lab-grown gemstones are sourced at Ward Gemstones. I also use ethically sourced gemstones, according to availability, from Gemstones Brazil which has been listed among the ethical gemstones suppliers by the ©Incorporation of Goldsmiths. Gemstones Brazil mines, located in the state of Minas Gerais, are compliant with sustainable environmental and social practices.

Packaging & Postage

 

Packaging is 100% made of recycled/recyclable materials (FSC certified recycled paper boxes and padded envelopes). Eco-Packaging and padded envelops are sourced at Westpack.

Studio Practice

​

I work on minimising my small business impact on the environment by avoiding toxic chemicals in my practice. All my original models are hand carved. Every piece is made to order, to avoid any production waste. Moreover, in partnership with One Tree Planted, each piece of jewellery you purchase will plant a tree in the Amazon rainforest.
