Sometimes I think the Lord was sitting at His jeweller's bench when He created me.
He placed two shining green emeralds as my eyes, pure spun gold as my hair, platinum for my pearly complexion and a heart of silver, passionate, kind and creative.

Ever since I was a child I was drawn to the shiny, precious gems my mum wore on her fingers, on her neck and ears.
This was confirmed to me as my one true passion when Metals was offered as a subject in high school.
It seemed natural to take the path towards studying an Advanced Diploma in Engineering - Jewellery Technology at TAFE in Melbourne, Australia. They were the best years of my life, spent with the most inventive students and teachers that taught with flair and inspiration.
I developed my design skills in to silver, stones, shapes and colours. My mind forever spinning with designs, my eyes never resting as they attend to the minute details while I create and forge and solder and sawpierce and set and polish.

Perfection is my motivation as I enjoy the process of making each and every piece of jewellery. It is my happy place, my comfort zone when I come home to my little jeweller's bench after a full day's work. I try to imagine the lovely person that comes to treasure the pieces I am making, and I see them, with a smile on their face and the sun in their hair as they wear my unique creation, feeling as much joy as I did when I made it.
