Handmade sculptural rings in silver and bronze, inspired by texture, contrast and the beauty of imperfection.

I make sculptural rings that look like they've been pulled out of something. Rock, earth, a seam of metal under pressure. The surfaces are raw and worked, the forms organic, the contrasts deliberate: rough bronze against polished silver, jagged texture against smooth interior. Each one is a small object with some weight to it, physically and otherwise.

Everything is made by hand in my workshop in Kent. I'm drawn to jewellery that sits outside the mainstream. Pieces with a subtle intensity, built for people who want to wear something that actually means something to them rather than simply accessorise.

The bronze and silver line I'm currently focused on uses the natural colour of the metal itself rather than applied treatments, which means the warmth is permanent, the character deepens over time, and the rings are more substantial and unique. The interior of every ring is solid 925 sterling silver smooth and nonreactive against your skin.

I work to a simple standard: what you see in the photos is what you get, the descriptions are accurate, and if anything isn't right I'll sort it without fuss. Buying a ring online involves a degree of trust and I take that seriously.

Made to order, usually dispatched within 3-4 days.
