Earrings: Hybrid Pebble, 2013
Anodised aluminium, stainless steel

The Pebble earrings with their slender shape and lustrous palette, feature an anodised aluminium plane, framed delicately by hypoallergenic stainless steel contour. Created in four colours (Ruby, Navy, Stone and Mauve) and four organic shapes, the earrings are designed to form various pairs based on either shape or colour; making them interchangeable and unique.

Necklace: Double Pebble, 2011
Anodized aluminum, neoprene rubber

Size 60cm length with an ability to wrap around the neck, pebble sizes vary between 2.5cm to 4.5cm.
An innovative modular piece made of smooth anodised aluminium ‘stones’ combined with black neoprene rubber lariat.
The pebble is carved out of a solid aluminium block, with a thin channel that runs along it’s outer diameter, allowing the neoprene rubber contour to embed perfectly into the metal to create a seamless fusion of the two contrasting elements of colour and texture. It is a versatile piece that can be worn long or doubled over to sit closer to the neck.

Statement

My work is an evolving process where graphic design meets contemporary jewellery. I strive to create distinct and whimsical wearable art that is practical and comfortable to wear.

Each piece is made with close attention to detail, whilst marrying cutting-edge technology with traditional practices to craft clever jewellery of exceptional quality.
