From my earliest memories I have been drawn to the unique textures and vibrant colours that can only be discovered in Mother Nature’s wondrous realm. Wherever I go, whatever I see or touch, certain sensations and images – and the feelings they evoke – remain with me, indelibly. It is on these memories that I call when I am designing my jewellery.
In the following pages I am proud to present for your pleasure a selection of my favourite earrings, drawn from a number of different collections and each inspired by nature’s infinite beauty. I express this inspiration in the form of South Sea pearls, Australian outback opals, and a kaleidoscopic array of precious gemstones…all of which have been created by the original muse herself.
