I will be tweeting about London Jewellery Week, things I find inspiring and also information about my own jewellery - especially my new collection Daze & Bedazzle!

Hi there! It's been far too long and I really have no excuse! I am now in my 2nd year of an HND in Silversmithing and Jewellery design, infact - I have just handed in my final major project so i guess I have finished the HND! In September I am doing a top-up degree in Jewellery Design for Industry which I'm very much looking forward to. I will be posting images of my pieces next week. Im working at London Jewellery Week this week so its all very busy but very exciting!

Above is a picture of my ring from my Daze & Bedazzle Collection which was inspired by the Gaugin painting, The Sacred Mountain. The ring is double sided and spins on a pin in the ring. One sided of the ring is silver with gold plating in the engraving. On the other side, the ring is silver with gold in the engraving, but with 8 pink sapphires and an iolite cabochon. This means that the wearer can wear the plainer side, say for work, and then when they go out after work, can flip the ring over, and wear a more "statement" piece. I wanted the ring to reflect the wearer's style to make it more personal to them.

So please stay tuned and wait for more of my work! Also, over the coming week i will be reviewing the London Jewellery Week events, hope you are as excited about LJW as me!
