Contemporary Ethical Jewellery

I have been creating jewelry since I graduated with a B.A. Hons in Jewelry and Silversmithing from the Birmingham School of Jewelry in 1998. My journey has taken me across the globe, allowing me to experience diverse cultures and landscapes. My passion for the outdoors has drawn me to rural areas, particularly along the coast of Cornwall in the UK, and I spent a decade in New Zealand, where I participated in the recovery of native gold. Influenced by my experiences and the people I've collaborated with, I made a commitment to use recycled metals, fair trade, and eco-friendly materials, sourcing gemstones only from reputable suppliers. Living in Perthshire, Scotland, I continue my ethical practices while making jewelry, gold panning in local rivers, and working with a partner who cuts gems, ensuring all my materials are traceable.
