Most tried on piece of jewellery at our photoshoot: the Platina silver bangle with turquoise enamel leaves! We all loved the contemporary edge of this piece and the simplicity of its design. A piece to wear and wear… and keep forever.

Favourite piece? ‘I don’t have a favourite single piece but I do steer towards those that can be seen by the wearer, such as a bangle or ring. I think it’s important for the wearer to enjoy their piece and appreciate its form.’
What lengths do you go to in order to get it right? ‘I have fired enamel colours countless times to achieve the desired shade.’
What inspires you? Outdoor life – whether it be in the park or on the beach with my children, in a café with friends or coming across unusual furniture and interiors. My pieces use organic subjects stylised into very simple forms.
What’s special about your jewellery? It’s individual and it’s made in limited numbers
