The elegance and beautiful style of 19th century costume has always excited me, especially the fabric, embroidery and print.
I have a huge passion for classical literature, especially Jane Austen; particularly the way the language
used within the novels marries well with period costume.
This has inspired me to create a range of sculptural metalware etched with wording derived
from classical literature, ranging from decorative pieces to functional tableware such as napkin
rings and candlesticks where the form has been taken from inverted skirts.
These ideas have been developed into a range of silver jewellery set with gemstones.
