If you've been here a while you'll no doubt have seen my Archive collection. The Archive collection was born as the antithesis of fast fashion "seasons". For many larger brands/stores long gone are the days of 4 collection releases a year in favour of the now ultra quick, ultra fast turnaround we are used to in 2026. I don't and can't work that way and the pieces I work with are timeless in their own right. Some of them scream the era they were made (I'm looking at you art deco treasures), but when given a contemporary makeover with new handmade precious metal components, they are re-born into your new 2026 favourites.

I'm blessed to have a 20+ year collection of vintage treasures to use in my work that I share with you. I've got an extensive archive of vintage glass, acrylics and found objects that inspire me each and every day, even when I'm not able to make it to the studio. You may be alarmed to learn just how much time I spend thinking about, talking about and more thinking about jewellery. The inspiration never goes anywhere, even when energy leaves the building for a while.
