MY STORY
I'm an independent jewellery designer based in Orkney, Scotland. My love for design and silver has taken me on a journey that helped me gain the skills required to produce one off pieces that I cherish. I do not use casting techniques during any part of crafting items. This gives me a freedom in the manipulation of metals and a result each piece is always unique. I work to my own inspiration which I get from a very eclectic range of places - it begins in my childhood - thanks to my father's love for steam engines and industry - spending days playing in woodlands and forests - places of the world I've had the opportunity to visit - gazing on the wonders of Egypt, Cambodia, Nepal and beyond - to the current day where I have the pleasure to reside in the awe inspiring Orkney Islands - where the landscape and history all come together to ignite the passion for creation within me.
ONE OF A KIND
Individuality
As well as creating pieces to my own specifications and design ideas - I also work with customers to help create one of a kind pieces that they can cherish as I do mine. Customers are free to offer ideas and queries or just discuss something they already see. I look forward to hearing from you......
PARTNER RINGS
I wanted to create something that represented my partner and I, these two rings are designed to fit together. The 2 posts represent myself and my partner standing side by side as we travel through life and they slot together to represent our unity.
CHOKER AND RING
Modern yet classic, inspired by my love for the Art Deco period. Sterling silver wire used to create unique and one of a kind geometric patterns in these pieces. Choker and Ring.

PENDULUM
A solid silver clock with swinging pendulum - based on a grandfather clock. With a small cabochon cut moonstone and a large pear shaped cut pink tourmaline. The passage of time can be daunting, in this piece I called upon my love for time to represent a bygone era.
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
Two solid silver rings crafted to fit inside one another perfectly - free to move and spin in any direction held in place by a copper tear drop. Signifying life - while ever spinning you can always find your centre.
ART DECO CITRINE RING
Solid silver and Citrine. I created this ring design around this beautiful piece of cut citrine I had - It's shape and contours took me to the world of Art Deco.
DRAGON PENDANT
My Uncle, Bob Steadman is an artist. I made this piece using a doodle on the cover of one of his sketch books. The cabochon cut blue chalcony reminded me of a mythical dragon egg and as a result helped bring this piece to life.
