“Silver speaks a language all of is own” – Susan Hicks

It’s a versatile metal, silver, and I referred to it as a noble metal. Along with gold, the other noble, it is enduring and strong, and precious, mined and valued, and they both have been recognised in these ways for millennia.

JEWELLERY

Silver is treasured for its ability to maintain its shine while offering strength, which makes it ideal for everyday wear. Silver allows for an expression of personal style, and there are any number of styles to choose from – whether the intricacy reminiscent of heritage or of Asian cultures, or the minimalist styles from the modern West, or a blend of the two.

I love the opportunities to combine my jeweller’s craft with the design possibilities of silver. It’s a pleasure to work with it. Stirling is as close as possible to purity to retain the beautiful softness and shine and still be strong.

It is also a challenge since to work with silver the whole piece has to be heated, not just a segment, but the work is worth the outcome in elegant style. And I do enjoy creating something that embodies the energy and needs of my clients.
