Where geometry meets geology

I’m Vanessa and I live in the heart of England, where my little creations come to be. Each piece is crafted in my home workspace and is inspired by the precision of geometric shapes, juxtaposed with the organic textures, patterns and colours (I absolutely love colour) that Mother Nature brings us.

I’ve been making jewellery since 2007, when I attended a leisure workshop at Leamington School of Art. I hadn’t had any metalworking experience prior to that, but I immediately fell in love with silversmithing. It was here that the solid foundations of my skills and designs were laid, and since then I’ve gone on to independently explore various work methods and materials. Wherever my learning journey has taken me, I always come back to my favourites: sterling silver, resin and polymer clay.

Every item I craft is individual, as I mix all my own colours in very small batches, and make all of the frames from sterling silver strip. I hope you enjoy browsing my shop, feel free to drop me a line with any questions.
