I grew up watching my grandmothers sew, paint, knit, crotchet, draw and embroider, and of course they taught me their skills. However jewellery making became my passion from a young age. When I first started making jewellery my learning process was to pull apart my old jewellery, to work out how it was put together. I would then remake it into a design of my own. Beading soon became my addiction and has been for the last sixteen years.

I source my materials from all over the world. I like to use handmade beads by artisans, this gives my jewellery a unique look and I know I have supported another artisan in their business.

I use a lot of colour in my designs, hence this is where the name Eye Kandy Jewellery & Design came from. For me jewellery is Eye Kandy, especially when beautiful vibrant colours are used.

I enjoy designing and creating my jewellery. My favorite part of my business is when someone purchases a piece of my jewellery to wear. I absolutely love the thought of someone wearing and loving a piece of jewellery I created, after all as an artist my heart and soul goes into every piece I make.
