The heart of my creative process is collaboration.
I find immense inspiration in commissions, which often blossom into entirely new pieces and collections. In fact, some of my most cherished designs began as a special request.
I hadn't considered making chokers until a friend asked for one; they have since become a bestseller.
My entire Gossamer Collection was born from a best friend’s desire for a beautifully fine and delicate piece. More recently, a mother's wish for matching amethyst and aquamarine cuffs for herself and her daughter introduced me to what is now one of my favourite gemstone combinations.
These experiences are a constant reminder that the most beautiful creations are often born from a shared story.
I use nylon fishing line which is less than 0.3mm thick, but can take up to 6 or 7 kg of weight tension.
The beads I use are made from natural gemstones. I use unpolished faceted beads - with a roughly 3mm diameter for the cuffs and chokers (except the gossamer collection) and tiny 2mm diameter ones for the rings and the gossamer chokers.
From left to right: 3mm sapphires, pearls, smoky quartz, and 2mm emeralds and citrine quartz.
