The fluid forms in my work are often scattered with intricate details. Finely textured, oxidised backgrounds accentuated with gold granulation, gems or fused with gold leaf.
I live at the edge of Cambridge, a stone's throw from an often surreally idyllic nature reserve. I spend a lot of time here, soaking up botanical forms which are often reflected in my work.
My grandmother, who had her roots firmly in the Arts & Crafts Movement, taught me my craft as a child and into my teens.
I’m working on making my jewellery as sustainable as possible, recycling metals and using beautiful fair trade gems whenever I can.
My grandmother Catherine ‘Casty’ Cobb
was a Silversmith. Casty taught jewellerey making in Cambridge for several decades until her 90s, encouraging and inspiring until just a few weeks before she died.
Before she became a teacher, she had a successful career as a designer maker, enjoyed working as a puppeteer assistant with William Simmonds, and for several years travelled the world as an artist examiner. Read more about Casty here.
I use ethically sourced materials whenever possible.
I often recycle old gemstones and metals, I’m working towards making my jewellery as sustainable as possible.

I take on custom orders.
Making customers happy by designing and making jewellery that holds meaning for them, is really satisfying!
Take a look at a few of my
custom made pieces here.
I live close to Fulbourn Fen a nature reserve on the edge of Cambridge, England.
It’s an endless source of inspiration as well as a place to recharge, stretch my back at the end of long days at the workbench.
