Welcome to my world

Hello fellow Jewellery lovers and welcome to my world. I am going to take you on a journey of worship and fantasy that may lead us all down the rocky road to temptation but then what is life without beauty and sacrifice?

When I was dazzled by the first piece of exquisite jewellery I was allowed to try on as a child, I knew in that one moment sitting on the floor of my darling grand mother's bedroom that I was hooked for life. Just being around such treasures was a joy and a bonding experience all little girls love.

As a woman I progressed to bespoke and to see my vision spring to life in the hands of a great designer was and is a thrilling experience that everyone should experience as often as possible.

In this blog I will bring you my observations, ideas and inspirations so that we can revel in outrageous beauty together...
