Nature inspired sustainably handmade silver jewellery
Inspired by the tranquillity of nature and the importance of preserving our environment I create jewellery that will inspire the wearer to take a mindful moment in nature. My collections are designed within the themes of forest, river and coast using botanical motifs, cast natural treasures and organic textures to make sculptural and unique jewellery.
All created using sustainable materials, certified recycled silver and traditional craft techniques individually or in small batches from design to finished piece in my Aberdeenshire studio. Find out more about my commitment to sustainability here

ETHICALLY SOURCED
Mining for stones can have a devastating impact on the environment and wildlife. As there is no governing body to oversee the global supply of gemstones it is difficult to ensure the ethical background of all stones; but not impossible.
Where possible I use Scottish gemstones ethically sourced from small independent collectors and lapadrists so I can guarantee that they have been procured ethically and are fully traceable.
