About

Hi, it's me!

I'm Natalie, and I make jewellery :)

Once upon a time, I dreamed of making beautiful things! If I ever get to travel back in time, I will be proud to tell my little self that everything is working out just fine :)

All of my designs are entirely handcarved, with very fine, miniature details extending through to the sides or reverse of each work. The carving process is originally done in jeweller's wax before being cast into precious metal. From there, it is a traditional goldsmith's process of metal polishing and stone-setting.

Inspired by my studies of bird-and-flower painting, classical Chinese gardens, and bonsai, I am deeply inspired by gardens and the way they help us engage with otherwise lost landscapes and nature. In jewellery, these garden arts become the smallest of stories, told by the turning of the seasons; miniature portraits of ecosystems at their healthiest. I want to encourage people to look closely, to absorb the details, and to reflect on the myriad connections between living things - to look at our natural world the way we look at art.

Above all, my favourite part is being able to create for other people and those that they love... mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, partners... and themselves! I hope my jewellery brings you the feelings I have when I am inspired - the kind of feeling you might get from the dappling of light, leaves outlined by the sun, or the reading of a poem.

Thanks for visiting - I hope you enjoy looking around!

Natalie
