I'm a jeweller based on the west coast on Scotland. Each of my one off designs are little works of art. I work mostly in Silver and gold, but have also worked with platinum. Commissions and alteration work excepted.
Getting a few bits ready for the Makers Dozen on the 21st March, Innellen, 11-4pm.

If you've not been before your in for a treat. Everything is handmade locally and of a high standard. There is freashly made food and drinks.

This 9ct gold ring was made for a lovley lady this time last year.

This commission is a good example of less is more. A lightly brushed silver band, with gold waves set into the band.

I'm a sucker for a labradorite. This one is a stunning blue, green.

Looking back on 2025, I realised how much I have done. It's not about quantity, but the pieces I was the most pleased with. New challenges completed as well as commissions that I got such a buzz out of creating. I offer wedding and engagement designs, repair work and commissions. See you 2026.

Hand engraving has been a growing intrest of mine, so I decided to pick up a new skill in Dunblane on a wonderful engraving course.

This is my practice sheet, so a long way to go but very happy with my start.

Sometimes a design only forms as you go along. This is one such case.
