I live with my husband and two children in the Dlinza Forest in Eshowe on the East Coast of South Africa. Our house and my studio borders the forest and in this wonderful setting, I am fortunate enough to create jewellery.

 I have always loved making things!!! I began as a little girl by learning to crochet, knit and then to sew. As a teenager, having just had my ears pierced, I began to make beaded earrings. It didn't occur to me then that I could become anything as exotic or hands on as a jeweller, my traditional options were admin kind of jobs. While working, I was able to find an outlet for my creative energy by sewing my own clothes, then making little Teddy Bears, printing on T-shirts and then finally coming back to beaded jewellery. I loved the feeling of creating something beautiful, but beading wasn't enough for me, so I began to experiment with other ways to make jewellery. Eventually, I found my way to metal and was able to put the ideas in my head into reality and so I began my journey in goldsmithing.  I feel like I have come home, this is what God made me for.

 Each piece that I have featured here is sterling silver, which I have melted down and processed into sheet or wire.  Then the creative and exciting part begins as I fashion my materials into miniature works of wearable art.
