I take great pride in the craftsmanship and the attention to detail that goes into hand making each piece of jewellery, and try to take the same care in all aspects of the business.

The aim is to combine beautiful natural materials with a way of working that is as environmentally and ethically responsible as possible. And to provide an inclusive experience for anyone looking to celebrate their love or simply buy a handmade piece of jewellery.

I first used recycled gold in 2016, and balancing beautiful natural materials with responsible sourcing has become a design principle my work is based on. since then I have built relationships with suppliers to source precious metals and gemstones that have been mined responsibly. created fully recyclable packaging and in 2022 committed to donating from each sale to environmental causes.

There is certainly more that can be done, proactive at looking for improvements big and small.

By clicking on the headings below you can find out in a little more detail the different ways this is being worked towards.

I hope this gives you confidence in our jewellery. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

  • Every piece of jewellery is designed and made in my workshop. The aim is to create something which will stand the test of time, to be worn and treasured for a lifetime, and beyond.

    As a small business, rather than hold large amounts of stock, I work on a made to order basis. Keeping the production process simple and small scale reduces the carbon footprint of each design, and keeps material waste to a minimum.

    In the workshop simple steps are taken to reduce waste, using low energy light bulbs and recycling or composting as much as possible. I have also reduced the amount of harmful acids used in the jewellery making process, in some cases mixing natural ingredients such as vinegar or lemon juice to make alternatives.

    Working with precious metals we are careful to keep waste to a minimum, all excess metals are collected to be recycled.

  • Since 2016 I’ve used 100% recycled silver, gold and platinum as standard for all designs. And ss a Fairmined gold licencee, any design can also be created in Fairmined certified gold. Fairmined is an organisation that works with small scale mining communities to guarantee fairer, safer and more responsible working practises. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss a Fairmined project. And you can find out more about the scheme and the how choosing Fairmined gold can make a huge difference to communities producing it, in our article on Fairmined gold.


    Specialising in bespoke designs many of our commissions are made using a customers own jewellery. Re-imagining an existing piece to breathe new life into the gemstones, or melting down the gold from a family heirloom, and turning it into a new unique piece to be treasured.

  • The traceability of the gemstone supply chain is complex but I have built a trusted relationship with industry leading suppliers, who can guarantee all their gemstones are in compliance with the Kimberley process, and come from conflict free countries.
 An increasing number of the coloured gemstones I use are sourced from suppliers who work directly with mines and stone cutters, and can guarantee safe working conditions, fair pay and strong environmental codes of conduct. The aim is to work towards 100% traceability for all our stones.

    
Most of the white diamond melee (melee refers to very small stones 0.15ct and under) used are guaranteed Canadian diamonds, mined with the strictest environmental and safety standards. If your budget allows we can also offer larger fully traceable CanadaMark diamonds.

  • It’s really important to me that the packaging my jewellery arrives in is made from sustainable materials.

    When designing my new packaging I wanted to push this idea as far as possible. Developed in collaboration with two companies based in Brighton, Eighth Day Design and Generation Press, I’m really proud that the new boxes are amongst the most sustainable of any jewellery brand.

    Each box is designed with the aim of eliminating the use of harmful toxins in the production process. The unique construction uses origami like folds to create a fully sustainable presentation box, and insert which holds the jewellery. This means no glue is used to hold the box together, and no foam padding, making it 100% recyclable.

    The card used for the packaging is ECF rated (Elemental chlorine free) which means the bleaching process avoids the use of harmful chlorine. The card is then coloured using natural pigments. Card and boxes are made in the UK

  • In 2022 I became a member of 1% for the Planet. This is a global network of businesses who commit to donating 1% of turnover each year to environmental organisations. Which equates to roughly 10% of all profit.

    I wanted to find a way to give to causes I really believed in, and 1% seems like a great fit for me. 1% brings together businesses and charities, and champions environmental action. It also acts as a third party to certify that donations have been made.

    This year I donated to Rainforest Concern, who work to protect and preserve vulnerable ecosystems around the world. I was particularly interested in their work with indigenous groups in Columbia, safeguarding areas of rainforest sacred to these communities from mining concessions.

  • It is important to me that everyone who visits the website, buys jewellery or commissions a bespoke piece feels valued and has a positive experience. I am working to make the website as inclusive as possible. A recent change has been to the way wedding rings are classified and described, removIng gendered category titles, they are now simply ordered into widths or gemstones and plain rings.

    I hope to continue to learn and develop the inclusivity of all aspects of my work. In the future I plan to include more images of jewellery being worn on the website. The aim will be for these to reflect the diversity of the customers I enjoy working with.
