About the Jewellery and the Jewellery
Our Swiss born Jeweller completed a four year Goldsmith apprenticeship in Switzerland and graduated with Honours as the top of the class.
Over the last 30 years this award winning jeweller has created over 9000 pieces of jewellery, with opal being her specialty!
In her own words…. “I design and make each piece of jewellery myself. When designing, I let the lines flow in harmony with the shape, colours and the individuality of each particular opal. As no two opals are ever the same and to get the very best out of them, my designs vary accordingly; each piece of jewellery being an individual handmade and unique creation, truly a one-off.”
Her creations are aimed at clients who wish to have a piece of jewellery that is Individually designed, crafted to Swiss standard of quality; will remain in style and fashion for years to come and most importantly, represent a sound investment and an excellent value for money.
Whilst her creations are more expensive than the mass-produced cheap jewellery flooding the market today, real quality takes enormous skill, hard work and time. She believes that the individuality and the elegance of her designs, combined with excellent craftsmanship and very carefully chosen opals, are well worth the money.
