OUR STORY
The world is full of historical objects and patterns that never fail to inspire our work. If a piece comes out of its etching bath looking like it could be a forgotten treasure dug out of the ground, we know we’re onto something!
PATTERNS FROM SUTTON HOO
The garnet and gold creations discovered at Sutton Hoo are some of the most awe-inspiring objects of the historical world.
Rather than attempt to replicate such masterpieces, this collection uses both pattern and linework to create unique items in etched copper with a charm all of their own.
9th CENTURY PLANT MOTIFS
Natural patterns adorn both metalwork and manuscripts throughout history. This series of 9th Century Plant Motifs draw the eye and lead you back into a forgotten world, even if you don’t always know quite what you are looking at!
ROMAN ‘SHIELD’ COLLECTION
One of our most accessible designs, the Roman ‘Shield’ Collection grew out of exploring some of the 9th century plant motifs which used a similar shape. This collection now includes an ancient triskele, celtic knots, medieval tile patterns and even a snake!
I did my first jewellery course in my gap year (a long, long time ago), but it is only in the last few years that I have revisted the skill, and only very recently that I have been brave enough to consider selling.
My range of copper earrings came about accidentally when my sawing arm was out of action, and I started experimenting with etching. My mixed-media wooden earrings evolved from the same sources of celtic, viking and anglo-saxon inspiration, but with a very different execution. Part machine-made and finished by hand, I’ve decided these pieces have a scandi-celtic minamalist vibe - let me know if you agree!
When my parents-in-law invited me to do a craft fair in November 2025, I decided to take the plunge and try selling some of my new products, and now these designs are available online for all to see!
Live strong and sparkle!
