Claddagh Ring




A friend of mine wanted a traditional Irish wedding band made for when her Boyfriend finally proposed. This was my version of the traditional design, and then him proposing!

My newest creations

Since I am still in the middle of setting up my metal studio again, (I move alot) I've been working on these little felt brooches to keep my hands busy!

I started making jewellery when I was 20, my first year at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, and I fell in love with it. I love shiney things, I love making things and I love process of starting with a simple piece of material and creating something beautiful. I graduated in 2002 with a BFA and went on to work at a couple of different jewellery comapanies, building my skill in everything from simple fabrication and repair work to setting $10,000 diamonds.

Now, 10 years later, I'm on my way to creating my own company- making my own designs, in my own studio, and I am still loving it. It's my passion. my dream. my life.

Hope you enjoy my work in progress!
