My Story
Jewellery making is much more than a craft for me—it is a way of capturing the beauty that surrounds me and turning it into something that can be worn and treasured.
When I moved to New Zealand 21 years ago, I was immediately captivated by the extraordinary colours of this country. From the turquoise waters and rugged coastlines to the rich greens of native forests, every landscape seemed to tell a story.
Wear Natures Colours
I live in the beautiful Far North of New Zealand. Over the years, I have fallen even more deeply in love with the changing seasons and the way they transform this amazing land. The golden tones of autumn, the fresh greens of spring, the vibrant blues and Turquoise of summer, and the moody shades of winter all provide endless inspiration for my work.
Each piece of jewellery I create is handmade with these colours and moments in mind. I am inspired by the meeting of ocean and sky, the glow of a New Zealand sunset, the colours hidden in native bush, and the ever-changing beauty of the landscapes around me. Through resin, colour, and design, I try to capture a small piece of these memories and emotions.
Colour your Story
My jewellery is a celebration of New Zealand's natural beauty and the joy I have found in calling this country home. Every piece is unique, just as every coastline, season, and sunset is unique. My hope is that when someone wears one of my creations, they feel a connection to nature, colour, and the special moments that inspire us all.
