💍✨ Bespoke Jewellery Art for Weddings & Anniversaries ✨💍
Are you looking for something truly unique to celebrate your special day?

I create one-of-a-kind artwork from jewellery, using beautiful vintage and contemporary pieces, designed especially for you. Whether you're looking for a romantic heart, bridal bouquet, champagne celebration or a completely bespoke design, each piece is handcrafted and can be personalised with:
💕 Your choice of colours and design
💕 Names, initials or wedding dates
💕 Bridal bouquets, floral themes and more
💕 Anniversary or engagement gifts

From delicate florals and sparkling crystal hearts, to elegant bouquets and personalised keepsake pieces, every design is created to tell your story and no two pieces are ever the same.
Browse these examples and imagine what we could create together.

📍 See my work in person:
13th June – The Garage Chilwell
21-23rd August – The Artisan Show
✉️ Or contact me by email for more details and commission enquiries.

I currently have some commission slots in July and August, so if you have a special idea in mind, I'd love to help bring it to life! ✨

This Saturday I'll be back at The Garage Chilwell with some new designs, including this little piece of the sea, reimagined in jewellery art.
This new design is a one-off.....handcrafted from hundreds of tiny beads, pearls and crystal fragments, accented with found treasures- genuine sea glass, shells, repurposed paua shell jewellery and luminous Keshi pearls. Unlike traditional cultured pearls, Keshi pearls form naturally without a nucleus, giving them their organic and exceptional lustre 🌊🐚✨

What a lovely day at yesterday's Jewellery Art Workshop at at , Nottingham!
It was wonderful to meet so many lovely people and see everyone’s creativity come to life. Some participants used my templates as a starting point, while others designed completely original pieces of their own. The variety of artwork created was fantastic, and it’s always amazing to see how different each finished piece becomes.
Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable and inspiring day.

I’ll be back for the next workshop on Saturday 4th July, and there are now just a few places remaining if you’d like to join us. You can book your place here:

Still buzzing after an amazing day at the Southwell Minster Spring Fair yesterday! 🌸✨
It was such a fantastic event – a beautiful setting, a steady flow of lovely visitors, and so many kind comments about my work. I’m grateful for everyone who stopped by, had a chat, and supported my little business.
My new jewelled nature collection had such a lovely response – I’m so pleased with how it was received! 💕 The clear bestsellers on the day were the dragonflies and birds, with quite a few flying off the table to their new homes. It was great to see which designs people connected with most – which gives me lots of inspiration on new designs to add to the range.
A big thank you to the organisers for putting together such a well-run event, and to all the fellow stallholders for such a friendly atmosphere.
If you picked up one of my pieces yesterday, I’d absolutely love to see it in its new home – feel free to tag me!
I'll now be busy restocking ready for my next event at The Garage Chilwell on 26th April.... 😊

One of the most unusual commission requests I’ve ever had… a lorry 🚚✨
This beauty was made for a truly lovely lady who also happens to be the most glamorous trucker I’ve ever met 💄💎 Proof that sparkle belongs everywhere — even on the open road.
It took a while to bring all the details together, but seeing how delighted she is with the finished piece made every hour worth it 💖
I absolutely love when commissions challenge me and tell a personal story like this one.
