Welcome
​
Originally from Sunny South Africa, I have been lucky enough to call England home since 2010.​
I am blessed and grateful to live and work in a lovely coastal region in the United Kingdom, where I love to draw inspiration form my surroundings.
​
I have been designing and manufacturing jewellery since 1992. I starting out with my apprenticeship as a bench jeweller at a renowned Royal Appointment Jeweller in South Africa.
Thereafter I turned my attention to diamonds and the art of grading rough diamonds,and cutting and polishing them.
This I did at the world renowned Harry Oppenheimer Diamond Training School in Johannesburg.
​
After moving to the U.K I completed my F.G.A in London at the Gemmological Association of Great Britain.
​
Having spent many hours in front of jewellery CAD software and 3D printers it was a natural progression to start up a trade workshop helping other jewellers with their designs and manufacturing needs.
​
Today I have my studio/workshop in the lovely market town of Wimborne in Dorset.
So if you happen to be looking for a special bespoke design, or a piece of jewellery to be repaired, feel free to give me a call or make an appointment to discuss in more detail.
​
When I'm not in my workshop you could probably find me somewhere out on the water, or out on my bike enjoying everything Dorset has to offer.
​
Thanks for taking the time to look through my site, and look forward to hearing from you soon.
