 I was born in East Lothian, Scotland but emigrated with my parents to New Zealand at the beginning of the sixties. After living there, we moved on to Hong Kong. This is where my love for jewellery came from.  Anyone who has visited Hong Kong will know ,there is an abundance of jewellery shops. I guess it just seeped into me, as by the time I reached secondary school I knew that jewellery making was my goal .

I have always been “arty”, enjoying drawing and making things, so it seemed natural to apply to art college, which I attended in Edinburgh. There I specialized in jewellery with silversmithing. On graduating  I set up in business and I have now worked as a jeweller for over 30years.

I still love the buzz of designing and making pieces that give people pleasure and special memories. What better job could there be?
