πβ¨"My older teenage son and I attended Kirstenβs ring making workshop at Dundee REP. From start to finish we were engaged in the process of shaping and creating an unique ring in silver. We were helped and encouraged by Kirsten to develop our ideas and the end result was something that surprised us, not only in terms of what can be done during the workshop, but also the quality of the materials and the rings that we created."

Did you know I also do jewellery repairs?
I worked in a jewellery repair workshop for 3 years after uni mainly spending my days polishing rings and repairing or adjusting chains, bangles, and earrings. Get in touch if you have any jewellery that needs a little refresh.
These long dangle Fragment earrings are in the sale, but I'm tempted to keep them for myself to wear to my brother's 30th tonight - they are the perfect party earrings. β¨ I have a similar oxidised pair available too.

About
My love of working in metal began at university where I studied Jewellery and Metal Design at Duncan of Jordanstone in Dundee. I loved the process of losing myself in designs and was fascinated with taking the seed of an idea and turning something tangible.
I love that jewellery can be symbolic of a particular memory, place or person, my graduate collection, Memento, focused on this sentiment and it is still weaved into the collections I make today which are inspired by places symbolic to me. I transform architectural into delicate yet structural jewellery pieces that luxuriate in simplicity and evoke a sense of quiet confidence. Every piece of jewellery is handcrafted by me in my home studio in Dundee, ensuring every detail is beautiful and of the highest quality.
