Orange Blossom Collection, summer / Autumn 2024
Over Easter we went on a beautiful holiday to Greece. On arrival and throughout, I was overwhelmed by the fragrant scent of orange blossoms and lemon trees everywhere.

The Spoils of War, Spring 2024
In March 2024 I was invited to exhibit my work at Cluster in London, a contemporary art jewellery fair. For this occasion, I created a series of three pieces, which expressed some of my thoughts on the subject of violence against women in conflict situations and war. I wrote a special Blog, dedicated to the three pieces and the thoughts behind their creation and their symbolism. Please click here to read.
My aim was to create pieces that would tell a powerful story, make a statement and invite the viewer or wearer to reflect on these issues. Whilst the subject matter may be painful, the pieces are not. I wanted to design beautifully elegant and sophisticated pieces that make the wearer proud, strong and confident when wearing them.
The pieces are entitled:
Clytemnestra’s Tears – Trophies of Power
Necklace. Sterling silver, 24ct gold foil, rice pearls. 2024
Dafna’s Cries – The Spoils of War
Brooch. Sterling silver, 24 ct gold foil, rice pearls, stainless steel. 2024
Fatima’s Memories – Wounds that Never Heal
Ring. Sterling Silver, 24ct gold foil. 2024
