Breathe new life into your story.
Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working on a variety of projects, from re working jewellery handed down through generations, to creating brand new pieces made especially for you to begin your own story.
Whether it’s a one of kind enagement ring, weaving treasured details into a completely new design, or creating something simple and timeless, my aim is always the same: to honour the history of your jewellery while creating something you’ll love to wear every day.
The process is collaborative, personal, and deeply meaningful — together we’ll craft a piece that not only reflects your style but also keeps the heart of its story alive
The process.
1. Initial Conversation
We start with a relaxed chat — either in person or online — where you can share your story, ideas, and the jewellery you’d like to create or reimagine. This is where I get to know the history and sentiment behind each piece.
2. Design & Sketches
I’ll create design options based on your vision, whether that’s a subtle reworking or a bold transformation. Together, we’ll refine the design until it feels just right. There is also the option to have the piece 3D printed so you can try it on before I make the final piece in metal.
3. Materials & Gemstones
Where possible, I reuse your existing stones and metals. If new materials are needed, I source fully traceable gemstones and recycled metals to ensure your piece is as sustainable as it is beautiful.
4. Crafting the Piece
This is where the magic happens — your design is brought to life in my workshop, using a mix of traditional and modern techniques with an artisan’s touch. As standard, I take 50% upfront to start the work, and 50% upon completion of the piece.
5. The Final Reveal
Your new piece is ready to be worn, carrying its history forward while marking the start of a new chapter.
If you have a piece tucked away in a box, worn but not forgotten, let’s work together to transform it into something you’ll treasure every day.
Tell me the story behind your heirloom, and I’ll help you write its next chapter. Whether it’s re-setting gemstones, melting down gold, or weaving elements into a fresh new design, I’ll ensure every detail honours where it’s been and where it’s going.
