About Me


I started making jewellery initially to amuse myself and exercise my aging fingers and to satisfy a need for jewellery in sizes I couldn't find on the high street - where fashion panders to the very slim. The more I learn, the more I want to progress.  My head is constantly bursting with ideas and my desk covered with sketched designs on scraps of paper.

I make all of the jewellery on the site personally and by hand. I don't use jigs or any tools that might qualify the items as mass produced. My main tools are my eyes, fingers and pliers.  I make the vast majority of the components for my jewellery from raw materials myself, like headpins, earwires and clasps. 

Consequently, the designs are not necessarily uniform and will vary a little from one to the next, due to the individual nature of the crafting and the natural materials used.  Many items are one-offs - known as 'OOAK' - One Of A Kind.

Please note that I'm based in - and ship from - the UK and happy to sell globally.  I am also happy to consider custom orders or commissions.

My personal blog:

If you'd like to see photographs of work in progress and learn more about what inspires me and my personal design process, please see my blog - I muse on all manner of subjects as well as my jewellery, from my garden, wildlife, the English Lake District and photography.    There is a Blog Archive on the right hand side of all pages, with a full list of all my previous articles, in chronological order.

Photography portfolios:

My other passion is photography, so I've added some of my photo greetings cards in to the shop too - they each feature an original photograph taken by me.  You can also see more of my work at  http://www.peekaboo.me.uk and http://www.boo-photos.co.uk for my live music photography and latest images at http://imageevent.com/boophotos/
