Movement has always been a strong element within my jewellery. This can be a subtle swinging detail within a pendant or wearable windmills that whirl when you blow. I also enjoy the exploration of this element within more experimental pieces which emphasise the body’s natural rhythm. I delight in experimenting with the surface of the metals, contrasting fine textures with highly polished areas. Similarly, the colour combination of gold and silver is also a feature of my jewellery. The way I work the metal and the construction of the piece is important to me and I try to allow designs to reflect the processes which have created them.
As well as developing ranges of earstuds, pendants and brooches, I work to commission in precious metals. I have had the honour of designing and producing the crown for the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru Môn 1999 as well as a number of crowns for the local Anglesey Eisteddfod. I have also made Cerdd Dant trophies and a presidential badge of honour.
I equally enjoy working alongside a client to produce a piece which will be unique to them. This exciting process can evolve from the clients own ideas or through developing designs to fulfil their criteria. Such individual commissions have ranged from a silver torque to gold wedding rings and tiaras.
