Very excited to announce that I will be opening my new workshop at the beautiful and historic Caudwell’s Mill at Rowsley. I’ll be opening my shop and also offering classes in jewellery making from early April. Come and spend some time in my workshop in the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District and make your own piece of solid silver jewellery to take away with you. You’ll also be able to browse and buy from my own jewellery collection, all designed and handmade by myself on site in the workshop. There’s a bit of work to do before I open the doors in a few weeks time but I’m taking bookings now for classes in silver clay. For more information and to book click here.

I was recently asked to create a setting for a client's own piece of Blue John. The piece is a simple setting of silver with a fine silver bezel, designed with displaying the beauty of the stone without distracting from it. The piece of Blue John was very special to the client, so it was an honour and a sheer pleasure to create this piece of jewellery for her.

A big hello and thankyou to all my new customers who visited my stall at the Haddon Hall Artisan fair. It was a fantastic weekend in a truly stunning and unique setting. For all of my customers who made enquiries about purchasing my items online I will be adding new items to my shop in the coming days and weeks - just in time for you to make a purchase for Christmas gifts or as a treat for yourself. Please keep checking my shop or connect with me on Facebook, Twitter and instagram and be the first to hear of new additions to my collection.

New in the shop this week is this tiny solid silver badger charm. He was created using the ancient lost wax technique and as a result he is totally unique. This charm started out as a small piece of modelling wax which was carved into the shape of the badger. The wax is then used to make a mould which is filled with molten silver. During the process the wax is "lost" and replaced with silver, so the original wax model is gone for ever - which in turn means that this badger is truly unique and "one-of-a-kind" The badger measures approximately 30mm from nose to tail and is 17mm high ( including the hoop ) The badger's width is roughly 10mm and he is hallmarked underneath his right front paw.
