MY CRAFT
INSPIRATION
I have always loved the natural textures found on the beaches and coasts, so I decided to use these elements as inspiration for my jewellery designs. Textures found in crashing waves, as well as the seaweed found in rock pools has driven my work so far.
PROCESS
The method I use to make my pieces is known as the Lost Wax method. The pieces start off as wax models which are handmade by myself, before they are cast into Sterling Silver to be worn as jewellery. This process allows each ring to be handmade by myself, and therefore creates organic details and textures in the jewellery. Items above the required weight will be hallmarked. Information on hallmarking can be found by watching this short explanatory clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziiLj7G_6II
