Handmade jewellery
Every piece of jewellery is lovingly handcrafted by me, utilizing recycled metals to honor our Earth. I produce on a small scale, often crafting one-of-a-kind pieces to prevent surplus stock. Each step in my creative process is thoughtfully considered to minimize our impact on the environment, ensuring that beauty and sustainability go hand in hand.
