I am a self-taught British-French jewellery designer and ceramic artist based in Prague. I enjoy moving between the two disciplines, though my ceramic work is currently on pause as I focus fully on jewellery design. Every piece is made entirely by my hands, with great care.
With minimal sketching, I shape my materials slowly, allowing the process itself to guide the outcome. I think of it as sculpting in silver, choosing not to use molds or templates. This leaves space for an experimental, intuitive dance between hands and materials.
A Stone’s Throw collection (2025)
Earlier this year, I returned to Donegal, Ireland, the place where my grandfather was born, this time with my son. I swam at the beach where my father played as a child, climbed the hill where my ancestors once worked the land, and peeked into the ruined house overlooking the ocean where my great-grandmother lived. These places remain, with long lives lived in between.
The spiral surfaced as the guiding symbol for this collection, woven through Irish mythology, representing the cycle of life, birth and renewal. A familiar shape found in our fingerprints or the curve of a shell, echoing continuity and return, with patterns that repeat but are never quite the same.
‘A stone’s throw’ refers to something just within reach, evoking, for me, the tension between proximity and distance, as a person with roots far from home. It also recalls my son’s newfound glee for throwing stones or shells into every possible Irish river, lake or ocean.
The collection is formed from silver wire in varying weights. The creative process unfolded over months as I explored wirework, letting the material guide me. The motions of coiling and twisting became a kind of meditative ritual, repetitive but always shifting.
UISGE collection (2024)
UISGE explores the idea of reflectivity in water. The highly-polished pieces in this collection mimic the glistening surfaces of water, a flowing river or a simple puddle. To achieve this, I apply intense heat to silver, removing the flame as molten metal flows and blends together. In this moment, the silver is frozen in its liquid form, preserving its fluidity and lending a distinct texture to the work.
Uisge translates as ‘water’ in Gaelic.
