The textures and forms found in natural environments are the starting points for my jewellery making.

In this collection, I have explored the techniques of hand forming, manipulation, adding, subtracting and casting in combination with finished and unfinished gemstones, to reflect the process of uncovering a hidden stone. Each piece has been individually hand formed into wearable jewellery, bringing value to rough, impure stones that would otherwise be overlooked.
