A very unusual neckpiece, inspired by the ocean. Long pieces of sea bamboo interspersed with pearls, and three organic shapes made from sterling silver. There is a chain fastening which ensures that the neckpiece can sit close to the neck or looser if preferred, and will fit all sizes.
( please note – the sea bamboo is a dead, white marine material which is dyed to resemble live coral – the dye is permanent, and the sea bamboo is a 100% legal material which comes from the area around the Philippines)

Good design is the most important element I aim to feature in my work – that, plus colour and texture. I spend a lot of time hunting out good stone merchants who can provide me with unusual cuts of stones, and I would say these are my unique selling point. Usually I will only make one or two of any particular design, hence people really are buying unique pieces of art work. I like to use textured stones – rough crystals, unusual corals and pearls, lava and ammonites are all materials I incorporate in my work. I also use a number of techniques to create interesting surfaces, including etching, reticulation and even the ancient Etruscan art of granulation. Necklaces are my signature pieces, although I also do an interesting line in unusual earrings and finger rings.
