I served an official Goldsmith's Company Indentured apprenticeship and am a traditionally trained goldsmith.Specializing in the design and manufacture of unique objects made from precious metals, most decorated with hard-fired enamels and set with precious stones using methods of manufacture that have changed very little over the centuries.
I am very much influenced by nature and include many types of flora and fauna in some of my work, which also has some additions of insects. I am the designer and goldsmith and am only respnsible for the metalwork on these pieces. The lapidary work, glass blowing and enamelling work is by others.
