'I have always been interested in stones, crystals and minerals since I was a child, especially the metaphysical side of things. I went to Art Collage and when I left, I began working as a Graphic Designer. Although this was a creative job, I found the high pressure office environment did not fuel my creativity.

I started making pendants from semi-precious stones in my spare time, first for myself then for others. I was interested in ways to use the attributes of stones on a daily basis. I moved onto working with semi-precious stone beads, this I found was the easiest way to utilize the energetic properties of stones.

​

I also noticed a real lack of gemstone jewellery for men, most of the bracelets available were mass produced, made mainly of leather, mystery metals and nondescript wood. I knew what I wanted for myself but I just couldn’t find it - so I decided to make it!

​

My initial designs were very simple pieces, though I started from the very beginning mixing in exotic and sacred wood beads such as Indian Sandalwood mala beads id found. The result was jewellery that had a soul, felt really solid yet was still easy to wear.

​

My eclectic style and inspiration comes from Prayer Beads, Malas and symbols from various ancient cultures. My main influences are from Tibet, Thailand, Bali and India, with some Celtic inspirations. I began working with handmade Silver charms and beads, because I wanted to create something that was really special, I also began sourcing the highest quality gemstone beads I could find. Because of my original influence of mala beads, I also also started to make beaded Buddha Necklaces, from vintage Thai amulets.

​

I really enjoy the alchemical process of combining different stones, metals, woods and symbols to create the unique properties of a piece. The freedom to create what I want and the support and positive feedback I have received from people around the world has caused a constant flow of new ideas and inspiration for me.'
