About the artist

Ocean inspired artisan jewellery & workshops.

Personal Statement

In December 2015 I combined my love for the ocean with my Goldsmithing & Jewellery degree, to create Selkie Jewellery; a brand led by artistry, passion, and a conservation ethos.

My passion is creating handcrafted jewellery in recycled precious metals, using all traditional techniques- including my signature cuttlefish casting, and combining found objects like ghost rope and sea glass to create one of a kind pieces. No 2 cuttlefish castings are ever the same, like a fingerprint, creating a truly unique piece each time. My jewellery collections include pieces in aid of conservation charities like Marine Conservation Society and Shark Trust. I love to create bespoke pieces working with customer’s own designs, or taking a precious once loved item and re-making it into something new. Big or small- repairs, alterations and re-makes are all under the Selkie umbrella. I run workshops from the studio, where individuals, pairs or small groups can come to learn new skills & create their very own jewellery items, including anything from a small silver piece to wedding & engagement rings!
