Contemporary Sterling Silver Jewellery

Are you searching for exquisite handmade jewellery crafted by a dedicated artist and creator? Well you've come to the right place!

Creating Contemporary Jewellery is my passion and I've had the privilege of crafting one-of-a-kind pieces from my home studio in Adelaide, South Australia for two decades.

My intricate designs are made by hand from 925 Sterling Silver ensuring each piece of jewellery is a unique work of art, unlike any other. From Earrings and Neckpieces to Bangles, each piece exudes its own unique charm, custom-crafted for admirers of handmade artistry or those in pursuit of something truly distinctive.

Perfect for any occasion, whether it be a heartfelt gift or self-indulgent treat, my handmade jewellery is guaranteed to bring joy and add a touch of uniqueness to your day.

Discover more personalized options through my Special Orders or Commissions pages where you can find additional information regarding custom-made creations tailored to your liking.

Thank you for being here, and I hope to make something special for you in the future...
