The story behind the Studio
Natural objects recreated in silver
My silver pieces began when I couldn't find a realistic ammonite pendant. Having walked on the beach at Charmouth many times, I decided to start with a real ammonite and cast from that. The resulting piece was very successful and was instantly something that I wore all the time. I enjoyed the process so much that I began to look for other ammonites, shells and natural objects that might work well cast in silver.
What started as a hobby quickly became more than that when people started asking where I had bought my jewellery. Once they found out I had made it, they wanted to know if I sold my work and so that's what I started to do.
You may be aware that silver prices have rocketed over the last year. I have kept my prices at 2023 silver costs but this is simply no longer possible, so I have had to review prices in line with the rise in costs to me. I am still making no more than minimum wage for my work on each piece!
