Atelier

Just sent some summery silver and vermeil pieces off to the Isle of White for Atelier's summer exhibiton.

Hoopla

Cheesy title, I know!  I've been working on some hoop earrings...yes, still obsessed with the green amethyst

Revolting

There's a Revolution going on at theThe Harley Gallery Craft Shop and I'm taking part!
The shop is being hijacked by Hannah Obee, curator at Chatsworth, who is taking over with a revolutionary display from 9 May - 20 June. She will draw inspiration from Welbeck’s Portland Collection and Chatsworth’s Devonshire Collection to show how craft fits into the rich history of these stately homes, focusing on the Royalist and Baroque styles of the 17th Century.

This translates into lots of wonderful opulent jewellery with a focus on pearls and beading - my favourite, as well as some great ceramics and silverware.  I will be showing my jewellery alongside some wonderful makers, including fellow Cockpit designers Teri Howes and Katherine Wardopper.

Bluecoat Display Centre

I've just sent a collection of work from my Terrain and Cluster ranges to the brilliant Bluecoat Display Centre in Liverpoool. 

Royal shenanigans

I'm not what you'd call a Royalist, being more of the Steve Bell persuasion.
Still the Sarah Burton frock was quite nice.
If you're after wedding jewellery, you know where to look  ;-)

New Collection...and new website online now!

My new collection, Terrain is now online, along with some new additions to the Cluster range...on my brand new revamped website!
I'm so pleased to get it online and it's been a bit of a labour of love.  I was quite fond of my old, pretty pink site but it was time for a change - we wanted to strip away the frou frou elements and make a clean, spacious, functional site with the focus on the jewellery first and foremost - and I think we did it!
Go on over and have a look around....

Terrain: New Collection Preview

I'm excited to show you a selection of images from my new collection, Terrain, which is inspired by aerial landscape photographs, rocks and barnacle colonies. This translates into dense clusters of earthy-coloured stones and pearls pinned onto multiple fine oxidised silver chains.
I've used pyrite for the first time here (aka Fool's Gold) which I've been dying to use for ages - it has an amazing futuristic/bronze age look. The beautful silvery green stones are green amethyst (also know as prasiolite).
Until my brand new website is online next month (exciting!), the new pieces can be ordered directly from me, by email or telephone. You can download a catalogue of new items here. The catalogue includes some new additions to the Cluster collection too - rich red rubies and gorgeous pearl pieces which would be perfect for a summer wedding or party. If you'd like to see anything in person, make an appointment to visit me in the studio.
I hope you like these new pieces as much as I do!
