I believe Jewellery is a form of Art. Much time & effort is put into handcrafting quality, durable, well thought out jewellery pieces - rather than a rushed piece of lower quality.

I enjoy hand fabricating pieces from scratch and designing unique pieces especially for clients, being given a brief by the client of items they like, their favourite stones/ shapes, birthstone, metal types, initials, favourite flowers, star sign & stone setting preferences etc. Then designing around those details, making the piece as individual as they are.

I love sapphires especially Australian ones. I enjoy making feminine floral filigree pieces with soft pastel stones or pearls.  I also enjoy making Gents Jewellery, I think this is an overlooked area of Custom Jewellery. I like using Using a mix of Two tone pieces, inlaying metal of a different colour & setting stones.  For Gents chunky Signet Rings I generally do a hand carved wax band (then cast), with the top section being handmade either a bezel / claws or top plate, this gives the piece more strength in my opinion.

Do you have anyone working for you?

I work alone, making the jewellery in my workshop, but sometimes I send work to be set in Brisbane (usually small multi stone settings) as my Setter uses a microscope and the completed piece is much crisper and neater. We both have postal insurance. If it is a piece needing specialist work completed on it, it will be sub contracted out, some Examples are Hand Engraving a Family Crest and Enamelling.
