'Archetypes Earring Collection' First full collection of silver stud earrings! Carefully crafted by myself in 925 silver, every earring is hand made and individual. This collection is built around archetypal symbols, each chosen to evoke an ancient feeling. The beauty of such universal symbols, like the bird or the hand, is that they hold within them meaning built by humans over millennia. For some, the fish may represent freedom unbounded by the restraints of land. For others, the devil's head may represent the trickster spirit sent to sow chaos. Whatever the feeling may be, the wearer carries it with them as they wear their chosen symbol, bringing some aspect of the archetype into their day to day life. Available at @cheekylondon_openlab market on 14th, 20th and 21st September. Come say hi and get some quality handmade goods for quality prices! #silverjewellery #silverstudearrings #ritualobject #surrealjewellery #londonjewellery #handmadejewellery

Few photos from the studio over the last month or so Very grateful to have had the chance to do lots of experimenting and playing around with materials over the last couple months. A new space has brought new ideas, and working on such a gorgeous bench with so much history has definitely helped push things forward... #ritualobject #handmadejewellery #silverjewellery #pewterjewellery #brassjewellery #surrealjewellery #esoterica #londonjewellery #jewellerystudio #jewellerybench

Massive thank you to everyone that came through to @n4makersmarket over the weekend, had an amazing time seeing old faces and meeting new ones. Jewellery making can sometimes feel like a lonely pursuit, so getting to talk to those who love it (makers and collectors) is a real pleasure and helps reminds me that profession has a wonderful community that comes along with it! #handmadejewellery #indiejewellersmarket #n4makersmarket

Three Fates Brass, size M, 12.1g, 2026 The Moirai, or fates, are three sisters from Greek mythology who assign people their destiny. They spin the thread of life, measure it and cut it to determine the path of any given person. In this ring the thread is represented by the band that connects these three beings together. The band in unbroken, giving the wearer the chance to determine their own fate. I made a version of this in silver a few years back and lost it somewhere. I've found lots of strange forgotten things over the years so I like the idea that someone may have picked this up somewhere along the way. Hopefully it has found its fate! Debuting at @n4makersmarket this Sunday, get ya grubby hands on it before it's gone!

Continual thought loop Brass, size J, 10g, 2026 I see the ring band as a thought emanating from the top of the head (the subconscious) and then looping back round to give the head thought (consciousness). Like an idea being formulated into words. As the thought projects out of the head it grows and widens, like the band itself, and then contracts and is condensed into form. So the process repeats infinitely. Not up on the site yet, exclusively available at @n4makersmarket Sunday 3rd May at Coal Drops Yard #alchemy #esoterica #handmadejewellery

Saw piercing has gotta be my favourite part of metal smithing. Feels like drawing with a blade. Such an immediate transformation of raw material into new shape. First stage of a long, meditative process of buffing and polishing to turn this from a rough object into a wearable piece. Didn't know how to edit out me breaking a million saw blades, love brass but it's a hard bastard to work with. #handmadejewellery #jewellersbench #sawpiercing #esoterica #alchemy

Resizing an engagement ring. Gotta be one of the biggest honours as a jeweller to make something that represents a lifetime of love and will be worn for an eternity. #handmadejewellery #jewelleryprocess #jewellersbench #engagementring
