The Designer

“In honour of all the woman – to make you feel and be the beautiful, strong and independent woman you are, following your own heart, with love and grace – my jewellery is for you”

Born in the South of France close to the border with Italy, I was lucky to travel the world for a few months and visit many countries. After living for 2 years in Sydney, Australia and 3 years in Paris, France, I now live in the beautiful West of Ireland with my 2 children.

After working in various jobs I found myself more and more attracted to setting up my own business. I explored different ideas, but every time I found myself going back to my love for jewellery. Because a piece of jewellery has always been a way for me to express who I am deep inside. It has always been more than just an accessory to my outfits. It is a statement of my personality and more than that, a reflection of my own personal journey.

And so I decided to dive in and learn metalsmithing to that I could create jewellery which allow other women to express their own beautiful individuality, their own personal path…  I learnt metalsmithing and jewellery design at the AFEDAP Jewellery School in Paris. I then discovered the art of chainmail, the ancient art of assembling rings one at a time to weave fabric like patterns with metal. Chainmail is beautifully fluid and tactile, and I love exploring the endless creative possibilities offered by mixing chainmail with traditional silversmithing techniques. It allows me to create modern, feminine and unique pieces of jewellery which are a true pleasure to wear.

I find chainmail to be so similar to a woman – fluid, adaptable, made of a lot of links which are small and delicate on their own but when woven together they create a strong, resilient and beautifully intricate pattern. All at once intriguing, wonderfully tactile, elegant and feminine. And will stand the test of time in its strength and beauty. Elegant & Spirited…

My passion for jewellery has always been a part of me from a young age, and I would always bring a piece of jewellery from all the countries I travelled to. My designs today are a direct reflection of my personal journey over the past few years, going through some difficult times and losing my way for a while, yet coming our stronger on the other side. Standing proud as a person, and as a woman. Finding my true self through those struggles over the years, refusing to settle for anything that does not meet my core values and principles. Standing tall yet keeping a soft heart. Reminding myself each day to live life to the full with integrity, resilience and gratitude.

My designs are a reflection of all that I am today… They are an expression of finding and embracing my true deep nature as a woman, my femininity and sensuality. Trying to learn and grow more each day.
