About

BY MY HANDS began as a project to rekindle creativity, and has since evolved into a brand I pour all of my love and energy in to. Everything is made from my London studio in small batches, with help from skilled craftsman in a two mile radius. High quality materials, combined with traditional techniques like lost wax casting and knotting, are used to create pieces that feel special to wear and hold.

Pieces are inspired by the multitudes of colours and textures found in natural stones, irregular pearls, and hand-worked precious metal. I also love to draw references from folk art - art of the people and the everyday. 

A self-taught jeweller by nature, I recently trained in traditional goldsmith techniques in Italy, which has allowed my practice to grow into exciting new directions.

As a maker, a past life in experience design means I design intentionally, never underestimating the impact of little details. I create each piece with child-like joy and gratitude that I discovered this new world of creative expression. I love to experiment and grow, and I'm always looking to evolve my practice into exciting new directions.

Whether as an explorer, wearer or collaborator — I hope you enjoy, and thanks for stopping by.
