"I began making jewellery as I became inspired with the idea of wearing art. I believe that jewellery should reflect who you are and be something precious… a treasure that no one else has… to be passed on through generations, thereby invoking sentimentality and emotion. My intention is to create pieces that tell a story of their beholder. For this reason my pieces are unique and personalized, as they seek to tell something of the history of the individual."
