Little Object is a range of handmade silver jewellery. Aiming for simplicity of form, I create unfussy, contemporary designs that mix up the precious with the everyday:
current collections use embroidery thread and bright
neon cord to add colour and detail. The silver is hammered to give shape and texture, and each piece is formed by hand, giving a pleasing irregularity. No two are exactly
the same: each little object is unique and imbued with its own personality. A world away from bling, my pieces are the kind of timeless old favourites you want to put on
every day.
I have been making and selling jewellery for more than 10 years. My early work used a variety of materials I’d picked up and collected along the way, such as glass, shells, buttons and semi-precious stones. I made jewellery to wear myself, but was soon taking orders from friends and friends of friends. I learnt the art of silver-smithing while living in Madrid and working as an assistant to the sculptor and jewellery-maker Beth McGowan. I soon began designing and making my own pieces, and was featured in the Spanish Destino Clandestino showcase for new designers in 2003/2004. Now back in London, I have been busy setting up my own studio in east London and working on new designs. I launched Little Object at the East London Design Show in 2008. I hope you like it.
