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.
With just 3 weeks to go on until the Makers Dozen, at the Innellan hall on the 21st March, 11-4, it's all go.
Come and welcome in Spring, hope to see you there.
This is my latest ring keeper in sterling silver with Tanzanite .

This sweet ruby set was meant to be for Valentines day. But since love can be for anyday, I thought I would show you anyway.
Silver and gold ruby set.
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.
First even of the year. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Silver ring on a dark back ground. Four wavey gold lines are set into the ring.
This commission is a good example of less is more. A lightly brushed silver band, with gold waves set into the band.
At last I can show you some of my Christmas pieces that have now gone to there forever home.
I'm a sucker for a labradorite. This one is a stunning blue, green.

Here are a few more.
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.
This makes me feel happy. Your work is so full of joy.
Ready and raring to go. My last Christmas fair will be this Saturday 6th December, Bute Yard, Rothsay, 10-4pm.

I first came across it on my 1st holiday in Scotland when I was 18. Then some years later I moved to to Scotland with my now husband and by chance found it again. Got to show my son. It was like magic.😁
I love this place so much.
That's me finished polishing more earrings and bits of jewellery ready for tomorrow.

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.
