As a tradesperson with a background in commercial jewelry, you may wonder how I ended up designing jewelry like this. Well, 22 years of filing my fingers to the bone making sweet little engagement rings for young couples ‘in love’, or rebuilding granny’s ancient family heirlooms to rigid traditional specifications, how could I not! As my creative spirit shrivelled away to a burnt husk of its former self, the skulls in my head grew in the dark till they could be contained no longer. So I had no choice. I have sweated blood to make them. They truly are a product of a tortured soul and there's more to come...

My long held love of the arts has resulted in much despair over the state of the jewelry industry. The very skilled and creative in our trade are so often caught up in the luxury world of fine jewelry that the fundamentals of design have been overlooked in pursuit of the almighty bling. Simply mounting beautiful gems in precious metals does not a jewel make. The traditional art world does not celebrate the intrinsic value of canvas, bronze or marble, rather the vision, the investment of time, the finesse of the artisan. In our own small way we aspire to redress the balance.
