My passion is handcrafted jewellery, not the mass produced items being produced by casting in factories. Traditional slow hand crafted, starting from granule, alloying to carat, making sheet and wire, then hand crafting the pieces, incorporating both traditional and contemporary techniques.

I enjoy handmaking jewellery so much that I find I want to share this passion with more people.

Why handcrafted? I get asked this a lot. It goes back to basics, we love to adorn ourselves, it's our visible creativity. Only jewellery stands the test of time and is passed down from Parent to Child, from one generation to the next. Our adornment that is also our link to our past heritage and our future. When this link is handmade, then I as the craftsman am also privileged to share in this journey. I love sharing this with those who are curious about handmade jewellery and what better way to do this than create your own pieces that perhaps will be passed onto the next generation.
