Techniques
Handcrafted Chains
Using the ancient technique of chain making each link is individually formed from wire and then shaped, soldered and textured to create chains that feel and look wonderful. It takes patience, dedication and time to hand make each chain.
Enamelling
Enamelling is an art which is centuries old. Powered glass is fused onto precious metals at high temperatures in a kiln to create a durable coloured finish. I use mostly transparent enamels in my jewellery for their richness and beauty.
I am an Associate Craftsman of the Guild of Enamellers.
Dichroic Glass
Dichroic Glass has a special coating developed by NASA which gives the glass wonderful reflective colours. The glass is fused at 800°c to form the beautiful earrings and pendants you will find here. It is not always possible to capture the full beauty of the colours in a photograph. You will find hidden dimensions to the actual pieces when they arrive to delight and enthral you and attract admiring comments from others when you are wearing the pieces.
Hallmarking - your assurance of quality
All items of silver which weigh more than 7.78 grams have to be hallmarked to be sold as silver in this country. I am registered at the Assay Office in Goldsmiths Hall London. Items are sent to them and they test the purity of the silver. They then stamp the registered makers mark and the hallmarks on the items. My unique makers mark is the initials JF in a square box. This is your guarantee of the quality of my jewellery.
