in the garden

This collection started after I moved house and discovered a hidden gem of an urban garden. Shortly after we moved, I began to notice all sorts of wildlife visiting the garden. and since then I have been quietly observing their interactions and behaviours.

Inspired by this window to a world of wildlife, right on my doorstep, in the inner city suburbs of Nottingham, I created this range of jewellery, celebrating the flora and fauna of the British garden.

silver birds

This collection is based on stylised birds and their surroundings. The collection has a naive charm and is produced in a distinctively quirky style that is instantly recognisable.

The collection has a graphic, illustrative quality which is present in all my work. This jewellery is meant to be fun , everyday jewellery that does not take itself too seriously!

time for tea

Inspired by my collection of vintage pottery and my love of a good cup of coffee, I made this new range of jewellery as a reminder of the simple pleasure of a good cup of tea or coffee.

My collection of vintage pottery has a wealth of pattern and surface design which I am continually drawn to. The theme of pattern features in each of my jewellery collections. Whether it is the pattern of the feathers on a bird, the veins of a leaf or the flowers on a cup , I find pleasure in the graphic interpretation of these patterns.

silver hoops

Tactile silver hoops provide the basis for this simple range of everyday jewellery.

The jewellery is designed to be comfortable to wear yet still have an individual style. The hoops on the bangles also provide an excellent device to fiddle with!

ABOUT

Helen's jewellery is inspired by illustration and is based on natural themes such as birds and trees, produced in a distinctively quirky style that is instantly recognisable.After graduating from the University of Derby with a design degree in 2004, Helen knew that her real passion was to make jewellery, and set about learning how to do that. Today, working from her home studio in Nottingham, Helen creates her jewellery from cutting and stamping silver sheet and wire. The collections are mainly in silver, with accents of copper and brass for colour and texture. Helen uses detailed pattern effectively to draw on the surface of the silver, using techniques such as stamping and oxidising, creating an individual look and feel to the jewellery.Helen's jewellery is currently sold at galleries throughout the UK and online, as well as at local fairs. For a full list of places to buy, please see the 'outlets' page.Wholesale enquiries welcome.
