I first began making jewelry in 2004, utilizing wire and a number of the stitching strategies I’d learnt on my diploma in embroidery. This quickly led to creating marriage ceremony equipment alongside the jewelry that I promote by means of galleries.

I’ve at all times cherished stunning luxurious materials and have a nostalgic love for the fashions, jewelry and headdresses of the previous which implies that my items are very female, intricate and delicate and completely suited to particular events.

On a private degree I like with the ability to spend a lot of time on bringing an intricate design collectively, so it’s the inventive aspect that I like, pushing myself to attempt new concepts and strategies.

When engaged on a bridal crown or hair comb, there are totally different handmade leaves, beaded flowers and fronds that have to be positioned completely to stability the completed design.

The different facet I like, is working with a bride on customized or bespoke designs. Helping them selecting colors to match a theme, tweaking a design to go well with a coiffure, or designing one thing utterly distinctive from scratch. It’s at all times an honour to be included within the thrilling preparations for such a special occasion.

I’ve been working with wire for over twenty years and that implies that I’ve developed my very own distinctive fashion and don’t are inclined to comply with specific tendencies, my purpose is to create one thing beautiful that makes a bride really feel stunning and that will likely be treasured.

My designs are elegant, delicate and detailed but understated, with parts impressed by wildflowers and leaves. I like to include color into my designs and have an enormous assortment of gorgeous glass beads that I work with. I don’t use any prepared made leaves or elaborations in my equipment, I create all leaves and beaded parts by hand within the studio.

I begin with reels of wires and beads and create the elaborations myself that I need to adorn my items with.

I’ve a “library” of strategies in my head that I can name on, starting from stitching with wire, to looping, twisting, wrapping and beading and these are the start line for designs.

I’ll sketch out a really tough thought of how I’d like parts to come back collectively, after which I’ll begin making, and adapt my concepts – and develop new strategies if wanted, as I’m going. For my Botanica assortment lots of the crowns, hair pins and combs have been influenced by the silhouette of untamed flowers in the summertime sky, or the waving of grasses within the breeze.

My present inspiration comes from nature, however with the final twenty years of constructing behind me, I’ve been impressed by fashions and jewelry from the previous and this does nonetheless have an affect on my items at this time.

I like the class and detailed end of Edwardian and Victorian jewelry and costume and the splendid materials and embroidery of the twenties and thirties too.

I used to be requested to remodel a treasured heirloom headdress for a bride. I used to be trusted to take aside the unique piece that had been worn within the 60s by the bride’s grandmother, after which additionally within the 80s by her Mum, to create one thing new.

That first snip of the pliers taking it aside was barely terrifying, as till you’re taking a chunk aside you don’t know precisely the way it’s been made, nor what precisely you’ll have to work with as soon as dismantled. What an honour to be entrusted with this process!

First of all I’d counsel visiting my web site to get a really feel for my fashion and designs, items from the gathering will be ordered on-line there too.

For instance, the heirloom design I labored on was agreed this fashion because the bride was in London. (You’ll additionally discover me on Instagram, although please don’t be delay that I haven’t posted a lot this final yr, I broke my ankle and have had a whole lot of break day work – however now I’m properly and really again!)
