*******************************
I'd like to apologise for the postal costs. Royal Mail has increased prices by, in some cases, over 50%, I'm afraid I have had to raise mine. I promise I do not make a single penny from the post written here and charge purely for the posting costs.

*******************************
I trained in silversmithing, moved on to other stuff and have finished by mixing traditional silversmithing techniques with modern fine silver works. I work in sterling and fine silver. Sterling is cheaper, fine silver is eco friendly recycled (expensive) but with the benefit of tarnishing slower. Unfortunately the cost of silver is rising so fast so I am re-introducing more sterling in order to keep my items as cost efficient as possible, while maintaining their uniqueness.

Please note:
My photos are not representative of the items size and are enlarged for a detailed view - please see measurements.

I use sterling silver which is 92.5% pure silver to which other metals are added
and Fine silver which is 99.9% pure silver
All my items are handmade by me in my little studio on the South Coast of England.

Info re hallmarking:

British law states that any item of silver weighing over 7.78 grams must be hallmarked by one of the four assay offices in the UK to ensure quality of the precious metal content if it is to be sold in the UK. Items weighing over this have therefore been hallmarked by the London assay office with their mark plus my own sponsor mark. See listings for details of which items are hallmarked.
