Irene designs and creates real handmade jewellery, its not laser cut or assembled from mass produced components. Every piece is individually handmade by Irene using precious metals and metalwork techniques which she has been learning and perfecting for over 20 years.

The beauty of Irene's jewellery is that you wont find it in any regular high street shop. Each design is unique, individual, noticeable and fashionable

The inspiration for Irene's designs come mainly from the Art Deco and Art Nouveau periods.

Irene's passion for creating jewellery came after attending an Art Foundation course in Amersham. Irene loved working in the metalwork room experimenting with various types of wire and sheet metal. At the end of year show she made a larger than life size necklet. Her show piece didn't have all the correct techniques or finesse that jewellery needs but she was hooked on making wearable jewellery! After some research Irene found a specific jewellery course that could teach her the skills she needed.

After several years of learning Irene entered a competition run by The Victoria and Albert museum in which you had to chose an item in the museum to inspire and create a piece of jewellery. Her work was chosen to be displayed in the museum for several months which gave Irene the confidence to approach local galleries and craft fairs to sell her work.
