My Designs

Whether for clothes or jewellery, I have always looked for unique pieces.

I have considered having some pieces made because I could not find what I was looking for. I knew what I wanted, I could picture in my mind.

I am particularly attracted to contrasts. I have always been… As a teenager I would mix feminine and masculine elements. I would wear a man’s shirt with long hair and make-up. My first perfume was a man’s perfume… I always felt that contrasts were much more interesting. They might be a way to make a statement, but for me it was about expressing my deeper personality. The traits of my self which were not obvious to others. In retrospect I didn’t really know what I was trying to express. But it was the start a long journey of self-discovery which led to who I am today. And what I have been searching for deep inside since that time has come through over the recent years. And it is reflected in my jewellery today.

What is Chainmail?

Chainmail, or chainmaille, is the ancient art of creating weaves by assembling small rings of metal one at a time.

After studying jewellery design and traditional techniques in Paris, I discovered the art of chainmail. And I never looked back... It has become my preferred medium to create jewellery.

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. Mixing chainmail with traditional silversmithing techniques allows me to create modern, feminine and unique pieces of jewellery which are a true pleasure to wear.
