BEST PART OF THE JOB: Customer reactions when they collect their final custom piece.

WORST PART OF THE JOB: When a seemingly simple job turns into a series of unpredictable wrongs before coming right at the last moment – if you’re lucky!

BEST TIP FROM A JEWELLER: Slow down! Take the time to do it properly at each step.

BEST TIP TO A JEWELLER: Never rush the very final touches of a job. Put it down and come back with fresh eyes, if time allows.

BIGGEST HEALTH CONCERN ON THE BENCH: Air quality.

LOVE JEWELLERY BECAUSE: I really enjoy designing for customers and drawing from our combined ideas. From there, the entire process of bringing that idea to life and delivering the final job makes it all worthwhile. The connection made with the customer, and the reaction when they receive their jewellery are also highlights.
