About the Business
I have been making jewellery under the Silver Forge banner for since 2005, although I started making jewellery a lot earlier than that. The shop is also manned by Izzi, the black lab, who keeps a careful eye on things and gives a gusto-welcome to anyone who visits.
I love to experiment and have had many wonderful and unusual jewellery commissions that have required special care and a lot of thought during the designing and making process.
Predominantly self-taught (although I do now have several jewellery making qualifications), I have spent years experimenting and letting my curiosity get the better of me! I regularly allow myself to go off on tangents - if I've seen a new material, or read about a new technique, I'll have to give it a go! That's probably why my work is labelled "unusual" on a frequent basis, and I take that as a great compliment.
