Hello
I'm Claire! I grew up in Rochester, Kent and still live in the area with my husband and my family nearby! My daughter-in-law and granddaughter have the privilege of testing my pieces and modelling for my Instagram posts. You may well spot them!
Every piece is a work of art. I craft in precious metals and create fine jewellery. I take my influence from my surroundings, thinking of shape, form, textures and colour sometimes adding gemstones.
I have to admit to being more than a bit of a magpie. Anything that sparkles, twinkles. I love sourcing gemstones, travelling to India and Thailand and have some very good contacts with gemstone dealers here in the UK.
From my studio based in the Kent countryside, I use recycled silver and gold, semi-precious and precious gemstones to create all kinds of wonderful wearable and fine jewellery.
In my store, you will find necklaces, rings, bangles and earrings lovingly made in my workshop but you can also create something unique to you, as I'm also a specialist in jewellery redesign and love to design bespoke commissions.
My Story
I have spent most of my career caring for others in the Healthcare industry.
Those of you who are old enough to remember the 'Winter Of Discontent', the period between November 1978 to Spring 1979, that was the start of my NHS career, and I retired just after just after COVID-19.
During my career, I met and worked with some very interesting, and extremely knowledgeable people. When I first moved to London I tried a little jewellery making but shift work soon made it difficult to continue, yes I still have the ring I made back then.
Fast forward to 2018, I decided to find my creative self, and I now love to design and create handmade pieces of jewellery, little pieces of joy.
My learning started with inspirational tutors in Kent and also in Bedar, Spain.
In 2021 I started my Diploma in Fine Jewellery with the London Jewellers Academy where I am delighted to share that I gained a Distinction. I continue to study with the Academy to this day, in their advanced programme.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey, please contact me if you're looking for something special. That special piece of jewellery can be a tiny treasure with a big story.
