The life that broke then built my business

After a decade of lighthearted play, dabbling with the sparks of joy that creating brought me, my life took an unexpected turn - and everything was burnt to the ground.

And from those embers, my self and my business have been born anew, refined and galvanised by the furnace.

In 2021, as I began to step away from the ashes of my old life, I realised that my reasons for making - and wearing - jewellery had also been fundamentally re-cast.  It was no longer simply about creating something that sparkled; it became about finding my spark.

The making and wearing of my jewellery became an important ritual to honour and explore my fiery rebirth. I wore my jewellery as warpaint - with each ring that slid over my knuckles and each clasp fixed around my neck - each tiny ritual grounded me and reminded me of my self worth, my strength, my agency.

There is incredible power in owning - and telling - our stories, even if only to ourselves.  

When we combine our stories with jewellery, it imbues the metal with such raw emotion and meaning, it becomes a holder of our essence, our truth.
