Hello there and welcome! I'm Helen. I live on Waiheke Island. I'm a handmade jeweller, a mother to two creative and lively girls, a wife to a surfer, a personal trainer, and a lover of making many things, especially jewellery.

My workshop, and creative sanctuary is at the bottom of my garden. Often frequented by my lazy cat LaLa, it is a place where time slips by unnoticed and where the beautiful native birdsong is punctuated by my own much less singsong creative noises of hammering, sawing and drilling.

For me, making jewellery is squeezed in between making school lunches, coaching kids netball and ferrying my girls to dance classes. It is a few sublime and precious hours in a week just for me.

MY PROCESS
I am drawn to fresh contemporary lines and the magnificent angles of Art Deco, and yet I am often inspired by the organic shapes and textures of nature.

I love flowers. I love bugs. I love textures. I love movement. I love shapes and angles and I adore molten metal.

I create all my pieces from the ground up. I am careful to be as ethical as possible when choosing my materials and with my waste. I recycle everything I can. It is hugely important to me to use recyclable, recycled or sustainable packaging.
