I love art, and from a very young age I loved drawing and making. However, I found creativity to be quite intimidating. Any creative pusuit I tried, there was always someone else better. There were always loads of people better.Eventually, you learn that loads of creative people feel that way – you have to put your creations out there and let them fly!
I’m Paul, also known as Rox (you can read that story here)
I didn’t plan on handcrafting jewellery. I was just messing around with materials when I became obsessed with spirals, serpents, and other sinuous shapes. They felt ancient and familiar, as though they’d been waiting for me.
Then life reminded me how fragile it is. I survived a cardiac arrest in 2023, and suddenly those symbols—spirals and serpents, life and transformation—took on a deeper meaning. They gave me a different kind of perspective.
I adore making jewellery. There’s nothing quite like the moment when someone sees a piece and their eyes widen. There’s a spark, a physical reaction—like a child on Christmas morning unwrapping the best present in the world.
Jewellery is at its best when it isn’t just an object, but something truly treasured.
I know my work won’t appeal to everyone. These aren’t “high street” pieces—and that’s the point. They were never meant to be.
Jewellery only has to be for the right person: someone who falls in love with it, treasures it, and wears it as a reflection of something inside themselves.
I hope you enjoy browsing my work just as much as I enjoyed making it, and please have a godo look around the site – especially my blog articles – for more in-depth looks at my work and inspirations.
