Current Range title image:


All my current work contains enamel. Mainly champlevé in silver that has been photoetched to my artwork but I also do some freeform flower pendants which I etch in my own workshop. I also have a range of earrings in the and plique a jour stye of enamel. I do not currently do anything in the more familiar cloisonnéstyle.

I love earrings! My range includes dangling pairs in various sizes and often in my favourite 'petal' shape. There are also pairs on posts in various sizes. I make all my earrings for pierced ears but i do have suitable clips for both dangle and post earrings. I also make occasional pairs of cufflinks.

Currently I am exploring my medium in a range of pendants which are circular beads hung on a cable chain. They range in size from around three quarters to over two inches in diameter. I also sometimes make pendant which are fitted with brooch backs so they can be worn in either way.

I am also making bangles, some simple forged silver ovals, but I also have an unusual range of enamelled bangles in various colours and sizes.

Some of my pieces, both earrings and pendants, are based on artwork which is photoetched, a process which gives a precise line to the silver and can be repeated. Others are hand etched here in my workshop and these are all individual. The subsequent enamelling is always different so, in fact, every piece is uniques.

The photographs throughout this web site show most of these styles. My pieces range in price from $36 for small post earrings to $300 for an individual etched and enamelled pendant piece.

I am currently working mainly in silver but many of the techniques I am using would translate well into gold and I look forward to working more in this more glorious metal.
