Welcome.
From an apprentice silversmith at 17, opening my first shop at 23, falling in love with gems and being able to craft them into fabulous items of jewellery with the WOW factor.
Welcome.
It all started here.
No technology, from a sketch to the bench, all by hand, learning the skills to bring ideas to life.
It all started here.
My first tech partner.
In 2006, I was shown CAD an engineering-based software that enables you to design in 3D to scale. This was transformative, which I can only call a magical moment.
My first tech partner.
More tech magic.
Designing in 3D is impressive: being able to render a design to see how it looks before making it is truly a game-changer for me and customers.
More tech magic.
Tech partner number two.
Creating organic designs, sculpting digitally. Starting with a solid object and sculpting as you would in clay—without the mess. Adding fine details and textures that would not be possible sculpting by hand.
Tech partner number two.
Tech partner number three.
When you think you have everything, meet 3D printing. This was another transformative moment. Having designed and rendered, why not print a scale model hold and review?
Tech partner number three.
Evenmore magic.
Printing in liquid resin creates a perfect model, allowing you to test drive your design. You can even propose with your design and finish your ring together.
Evenmore magic.
The finished design.
It is always special to hand over the finished design; it's a WOW factor moment every time.
