“My jewellery is bold, vibrant and striking.  And my pieces portray the essence of strong dynamic women who are not afraid
to make a statement.
In truth my jewellery is designed for my alter ego; the women that I imagined I would grow up to be. And so I take inspiration from strong female icons in history and popular culture such as Miriam Makeba, Barbarella, Joan of Arc and Cleopatra. It also goes without saying that having grown up in Southern Africa, a sense of that region, its colours and cultures are ever present in my designs.
All of these elements are amalgamated by the use of tactile and luscious suede that is the core material that runs through all of my collections. It adds luxuriousness to my work and the palette available works perfectly with my love of colour.
My pieces are for those moments when a woman needs to be remembered such as an important meeting, a sizzling date, a beach party in Ibiza or St Tropez, or for when she needs a “pick-me-up”, just like a pair of killer heels.
All of my work is currently designed and produced in the UK.
