I set traceable boulder opals from Australia and emeralds from India in eco-gold and eco-silver for magically coloured statement rings and pendants; and I collect amethysts, aquamarine and other crystals from local clay pits.

I find amethysts, crystals and aquamarine in Cornwall where I live, and source boulder opals from a family mine in Queensland. I reuse boxes for posting out orders, run an almost paperless office and walk to my studio in St Austell. My zero-waste collections make sure my metal off-cuts are not wasted. I'm always happy to make improvements, so please share any ideas with me.AboutI make contemporary, jewellery from found objects (driftwood, sea plastic, sea glass and slate pebbles) combined with semi-precious stones and pearls linked together with chunky hammered eco-silver chains, delicate crocheted fine silver and fused silver focal pieces.
