BIOGRAPHY

After leaving De Montford University with a BA (Hons) 2.1 degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing in 1989, Sally worked for various jewellery designers to gain knowledge and experience in the jewellery field. In 1995 she became self- employed working from a studio space in 401 Wandsworth workshops in London making her own range of jewellery, supplying her work in various outlets, galleries and exhibitions abroad and in the UK.

Each piece is individually hand-crafted and finished off with emphasis on quality using a combination of freshwater Pearls and a variety of semi-precious stones.

Sally currently lives in Herefordshire where she designs and produces jewellery from her workshop there. There is a new range for 2012 which includes, bangles with pearls and coloured recycled glass, contemporary stack rings, new lariats, Shamballa and charm bracelets. Sally has also designed a range where specific gems are incorporated for star signs or birthstones. The jewellery is fun, affordable and perfect for any age.
