Back in February I had the opportunity to visit Munich as a research trip and attended one of the worlds largest jewellery trade shows Inhorgenta, it’s basically the Crufts of jewellery shows! The show itself was absolutely massive and totally overwhelming to begin with as there was so much to take in. Unfortunately cameras were …

One thing I love the most about doing a commission is working closely with the client and seeing their reaction when a piece is complete. I was contacted by a male client to make an unusual ring made in 18ct white gold using his partners own diamonds from old rings she didn’t wear any more. …
