"...my mothers brooch was hidden in a box and I wanted to change it into something that would give me joy everyday. I love the fact that my jewellery doesn't exist anywhere else, it's unique to me. Mum would have loved it "
Make it yours
Chapter 1
Taking time to listen
Our first meeting is all about discovering who you are, what's important to you and what you'd like your jewellery to express. I'll look at your treasure to get a sense of what's possible with your raw materials, and advise on design & budget
Chapter 2
Let the inspiration flow
The design phase is an exciting opportunity to research ideas, sketch, create models and distil the essence of your story into a design that feels true to you. We take time to explore your memories and emotions, and allow the magic to emerge
Chapter 3
Crossing the threshold
Once you're happy with your design a deposit is taken and I start taking your jewellery apart, carefully removing stones and melting gold into an ingot. I'm experienced at guiding people through this tender and liberating moment - letting go of the old and stepping into the new
“...Bea is intuitive and empathic in the way she works. By placing my trust in her, she transformed the broken remnants of my grandmothers jewellery into a ring for my 50th birthday.."
Chapter 4
Beauty in the becoming
Pieces come alive on the bench. I love the calm, intimate rhythm of hand working gold - hammering, shaping, fusing texture, detail and form. Each jewel made with meticulous skill and care, imbued with traces of human touch and individuality
Chapter 5
A Future heirloom
Your piece is presented in a handmade porcelain box to be treasured alongside your jewellery. Commissions can also have a hand bound book crafted, honouring your ancestry and capturing your story for future generations
