About
Jewellery is more than just adornment...
Drawing from a love of art and literature, and a lifelong intrigue with the history of ritual, myth, magic, and symbolism, Sarah creates pieces that honour your unique journey and bring a touch of magic and wonder to your everyday.
"I love imagining the almost infinite life of a piece of gold - a pure, elemental metal that remains unblemished through endless transformation. Its story is like a golden thread weaving through history, from its creation in a distant moment in the heart of a dying star to its discovery on earth by ancient civilisations, being crafted into amulets to be cherished and passed down through ages. Each piece carries a rich narrative, continually reborn by skilled goldsmiths to tell new tales that will lead far into a future we can’t even imagine yet.
“The jewellery you wear is part of this golden thread - stories in gold that are given and received, cherished, worn, passed down to loved ones, lost to time, and eventually unearthed again, their gold still bright and gleaming under the dirt.”
Ethical and Sustainable Jewellery
Sarah cherishes the raw, unpolished radiance of natural gold and gemstones. Embracing the finite nature of these materials, she uses 100% recycled gold and responsibly sourced diamonds and gemstones from trusted UK suppliers. This commitment ensures that each piece not only carries personal significance but also respects the earth from which it came.
Modern Goldsmithing Rooted in Tradition
In her workshop, Sarah blends ancient and modern aesthetics to create enduring pieces that echo the craftsmanship of past artisans while staying rooted in her passion for making jewellery for contemporary life and modern sensibilities.
“I see my workshop as a bridge between the past and present, where I can echo forms and styles that blend ancient and modern aesthetics. Following in the footsteps of ancient and modern goldsmiths, I've built a trusty collection of tools - old and new, inherited and homemade - that help me transform ideas into enduring jewellery. Knowing that my skills are part of this age-old craft is incredible to me, and I cherish this connection to artisans from the past.”
Meet Sarah
Sarah grew up immersed in the world of craftsmanship, surrounded by the scent of wood dust and the hum of tools, ingraining in her a deep connection to materials and the art of making, and she has been creating or contemplating jewellery and art for as long as she can remember.
“Throughout human history, jewellery has held powerful significance. From gemstones and crystals offering spiritual protection to talismans bringing good fortune, each piece of jewellery carries its own story. I believe in the magic of these stories and their power to connect you to something greater.”
After a formative time studying philosophy and art history at university, followed by a period working in paper conservation and bookbinding, meticulously restoring historical and archival books from the collections of the British Library, Sarah returned to her true passion and completed an honours degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing at the renowned Edinburgh College of Art.
“For me, making itself is a ritual. It’s how I find connection and grounding, using the alchemy and skill of artistry and craftsmanship to bring ideas down from the aether and transform them into something tangible - glimmers of wonder, stories in gold.”
Alongside creating her own distinctive fine jewellery and modern talismans with an ancient feel, Sarah works part time as a ghost-maker for a visionary gothic jewellery brand, stepping in to provide support to other inspirational, female-led creative businesses along the way.
