From Brushstroke to Bench - bespoke fine jewellery as personal as the story it tells, for today’s modern muses
For the Modern Muse
You’re not here for off-the-shelf sparkle. You want a piece that tells your story — one that feels personal, poetic, and made with intention. Something to celebrate where you are or where you’re headed. Whether it’s an engagement ring, a wedding band, or a one-of-a-kind heirloom, you want to work with someone who sees the meaning behind the moment — and who can translate it into beauty you’ll wear forever.
You’re drawn to detail, history, craftsmanship and quiet luxury. You want to be part of the creative process — not just a customer, but a co-creator. That’s where I come in.
From brushstroke to bench, I craft bespoke fine jewellery as personal as the story it tells — for today’s modern muses.
My Story
I grew up in the wings of opera houses, watching my parents — a conductor and a stage manager — bring other worlds to life. Between them, I learned that creativity needs both vision and precision to thrive. I was captivated by the glamour, but also loved the quiet backstage world — the rehearsals, the fine-tuning, the discipline behind the magic.
That rhythm became my foundation: part dreamer, part technician. I trained first as a painter, completing a Master’s in Fine Art and exhibiting surreal, myth-rich works in London, while working alongside celebrated artist Patrick Hughes. From him I learned to look closely, work patiently, and honour the details.
But it wasn’t until I retrained as a goldsmith, after the birth of my first child, that everything clicked. Jewellery brought all the parts of me together — storytelling, craftsmanship, emotional resonance — in a precious medium that lasts a lifetime.
Inspired by Beauty, Crafted with Purpose
Now, I bring that same eye for detail and love of storytelling to every piece I make. With precision, patience, and an artist’s touch, I create jewellery crafted in precious metals and stones, designed to reflect the person it’s made for. Whether it marks a milestone or becomes part of your everyday, each piece is built to be treasured — as personal as it is timeless.
Alongside bespoke commissions, I create limited edition collections inspired by mythology, classical symbolism, and the wonders of the natural world — reimagined through a modern lens. Expect sculptural silhouettes, soft organic forms, hand-applied textures and glowing pearls. I work in recycled gold and silver, lab-grown and natural diamonds, and responsibly sourced gemstones in every colour — from stormy ocean blues to luminous pastels, the overall effect is quietly powerful and beautifully refined.

Jewellery consumes my mind completely. I am drawn to sparkle in all its forms—bewitching, fleeting, and if I can capture it, I will.
KIND WORDS
My husband commissioned a Katherine Elder necklace for me to mark a significant life event. Everything felt special from the moment I unwrapped the box and I couldn't help but gasp when I lifted the lid off the presentation case. The elegant design in gold and gemstones suits me perfectly and is everything I could have wished for. To know that the piece was specifically designed for me and is one-of-a-kind makes it all the more meaningful. I adore wearing it.
