All my jewellery is handmade using beads that I have bought from around the world and I also like to remodel vintage jewellery that can no longer been worn and recycle it into something new - recycle and reuse! The vintage beads I buy from markets and charity shops around London. In regard to to my lampwork pieces, the beads are sourced from one end of the globe to the other. I buy one off lampwork beads from artists in New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Austria, the UK and the USA. I am also adding a gift section which will have my artwork, cushion covers and other bits and pieces.
A lot of my inspiration comes from the beautiful scenery of my homeland, New Zealand, but I also draw inspiration from our travels, and our new home in the U.K. The history and beauty of the U.K is wonderful and having English and Scottish ancestry together with my New Zealand Maori ancestry I have a lot to draw upon. I hope you like my jewellery and if there is a design you have in mind I also do commission pieces. Thank you for coming to our webpage.
