Completing training at Nottinghamshire Jewellery School has enabled me to understand what metals and styles I enjoy working with and creating . As a woman in my 50's I embrace the uniqueness that comes from using recycled metals and working with forms that are seen as off cuts or scrap . For me transforming something into something more beautiful and unique speaks to me and gives me satisfaction that someone who chooses my jewellery is making a choice and by doing so  also appreciates the transformation that happens to all of us as we age and that like my jewellery we are on a journey and will  evolve and change and at each stage a new beginning emerges for us to hold .
