Hi everyone, December is here and what a year 2018 has been for us. We have completed some of the most rewarding contemporary, classic, simple and complicated pieces, all of them exciting and meaningful. We have already showcased some of the earlier 2018 work on our Commissions website page, and I would now like to…

Hi everyone I hope you’ve had time to visit our great new website and discover all the amazing content we have showcased. We worked hard as a team to make it a site you will visit often, is easy to navigate, and features our superb hand made jewellery. Special thanks again to Lou and Ben…

So, we’re past the winter solstice and although we need lots more rain, I really love this time of the year. It’s conducive for my design work because I’m invigorated by cool weather. One of my favourite things to do is to sit sketching at home in a warm space looking out into our garden.…

It’s June –  shorter days and quite cold, so I can think of nothing better than a hearty meal in warm surrounds with family and friends or maybe sitting in front of an open fire with good book and a nice glass of red. PIKES of course! In my last blog, I talked about individuality…

Hello everyone. I have been sitting at my computer for about an hour writing a list of interesting things that I enjoy and have noticed a strong consistent thread in the values, ethics and skills I live by.

Well, it’s Mad March in Adelaide and there is so much happening. The weather has been glorious and it must be gratifying for all the organisers of particularly the outside performances to have such a large audience and great conditions. Exhibitors, performers, and artists pushing boundaries seem to be what it’s all about and there…

I hope your New Year has begun well and if you had the chance to take a Xmas break, I hope you are refreshed and willing to take on whatever 2018 has in store. Talking recently to a client who brought in a selection of diamond jewellery, the ‘jewellery make-over’ was again the topic of…

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you had a very happy festive season and got to spend time with your loved ones doing fun things. When starting a new year, I have always been fascinated about the origin of New Year’s Resolutions, a tradition started centuries ago that was as an attempt to make the fresh…

Can you believe it’s nearly Xmas! December each year seems to be a time that I reflect back and celebrate the amazing pieces that have been commissioned. It is no different this year. My design capabilities have been really tested in 2017, as I have had the most challenging of jewellery makes and ‘make overs’…
