Introducing Daphne

Daphne has a spontaneous approach in the way she works. She hardly ever draws preferring to work directly with her chosen material, in most cases oxidised silver. Sometimes she makes models to help her visualise a finished piece.

Daphne also loves working in gold. It has a unique light absorbing quality, and works well with most colours. It is easy to recycle and work with and has a timeless look.

Her jewellery is made using traditional tools and techniques and is entirely hand made. She likes designing and making one off pieces, and occasionally limited edition collections of production work.
