The techniques and methods of creating jewellery are incredibly varied, encompassing a wide range of skills that often require years of dedicated learning and adapting to evolving design concepts and specific requirements. Each jeweller may develop their unique approach, which can involve traditional methods such as metalworking, stone setting, and forming. The intricate processes involved when crafting jewellery often include a deep understanding of materials, an appreciation for aesthetics, and a commitment to precision. Trends in jewellery are notably variable. The choices available to consumers are wide-ranging and can be incredibly exciting, with styles that can vary from minimalist to ornate, and materials that can include everything from precious metals to unconventional substances. Trends often reflect broader societal themes, such as sustainability, individuality, and the blend of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

This dynamic nature of jewellery can create wonderful new works. The jewellery I make is defined by clean lines with an emphasis on coloured stones, which allows for a striking visual impact. I draw inspiration from textures found in the natural world, incorporating organic shapes and patterns that evoke the beauty of nature. This influence manifests in the choice of materials, where I often select stones that not only possess vibrant hues but also exhibit unique textures and formations. By blending these elements, my creations aim to resonate with the natural environment, celebrating its complexity and elegance. Each piece is crafted with an intention that reflects both personal expression and a connection to the world around us, resulting in jewellery that is not only beautiful but also meaningful.
