It’s all made in Silver Alley…
A converted dedicated space in Winchester, UK.
Making jewellery that will be worn and cherished is important to me.
Each piece of gold and silver jewellery is made by hand and my product range changes over time, being influenced by the experiences we encounter.
No two pieces are identical which ultimately creates unique, special items made for you, by me.
Recycling is a big part of my daily life and I use as many recycled materials as possible during my jewellery making process from packaging and using recycled metals to sourcing previously owned tools.
Previously I was an actress working mostly in the West End of London but also doing fringe, radio and tv work. I ran a clothing company making outdoor wear from recycled plastic bottles and co-run a small charity which used to help families in need abroad and now we work in the UK. Re training as a silversmith has been fascinating and I continue to learn and gain knowledge in this world of precious metals.

The Process
Each piece is carefully made by hand in ‘Silver Alley’ a converted dedicated space in Winchester, UK. Great care and attention to detail is taken, to create your unique special piece.
One process used to create original pieces is Delft casting. Sand is used to cast an object and often customers use their own old silver and gold with this process - which can make your piece even more special to you and your family- creating heirlooms.
If you have gold or silver no longer being worn then we can discuss creating something new for you, which will bring life back into unused precious items.
