Argentium Silver
You may not have heard of Argentium Silver, but I use it in all of my silver designs. Invented in the late 20th century, it was developed to resist tarnish and hold a radiant shine. It is hypoallergenic, made from 100% recycled silver, and offers a higher purity than standard Sterling Silver — combining beauty, comfort, and responsibility in one material.
Argentium Silver is a modern silver alloy named after the Latin word for silver, Argentum. Created in the 1990s, it replaces some of the copper found in traditional silver with germanium, making it naturally tarnish-resistant and hypoallergenic. I choose it for its bright finish, durability, and sustainable origins.
I love working with Argentium Silver because it responds beautifully to heat, allowing me to create effects that aren’t possible with traditional silver. It's a very modern creation – tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic, and made from recycled silver — a material that supports both creative freedom and long-lasting wear.
There are many reasons I use Argentium Silver — its high quality, resistance to tarnish, and hypoallergenic nature among them. Invented just a few decades ago and crafted from recycled silver, it offers a brighter finish and greater purity than standard Sterling Silver, making it both a pleasure to work with and to wear.

Pendant
Pendants are among the earliest forms of jewellery and artistic expression, the first evidence of a decorated piece is over 41,500 years old. They could be made from animal teeth, shells, and stones, used as amulets, talismans and symbols of power. Across cultures, pendants carry deep symbolic meaning; from Ancient Egyptian scarabs to modern designs, they remain a timeless symbol of resilience and our heritage. A pendant is more than just jewellery, it carries a story and the love of the wearer, suspended close to the heart.
Opal
I only ever hand pick stones that resonate and call to me for my designs. In this piece, I've chosen Opal as the mythic heart of the design. It has long been seen as a stone of inspiration and passion, believed to awaken creativity and amplify emotions.
Bezel
In jewellery, bezels are used to cradle and hold a stone within a design. Sometimes, the whole piece may act as a bezel, and in others, the bezel may be separate and removable. In this piece, the lustrous Argentium Silver bezel combines with the carefully selected Opal beautifully.
Dimensions
While I try to be as accurate as possible, measurements are a rough guide to give you a sense of scale and overall balance.

Mythical Beast
Every culture has its mythical beasts — the creatures that exist in that liminal space between what is and what might be. Griffins, phoenixes, chimeras, basilisks… beings that combine the impossible into something that feels somehow inevitable. My Mythical Beast designs tap into that shared imagination.
When I create a Mythical Beast piece, I'm not trying to be realistic — how could I be? Instead, I'm trying to capture the essence of the creature, the energy that made our ancestors dream them into being in the first place. It's about channelling rather than copying.
These pieces find their way to the dreamers, the ones who still see magic in the world, who understand that mythical beasts represent parts of ourselves we haven't quite named yet. The beast you're drawn to says something about who you are.
Mythical beasts are humanity's collective imagination made visible. We invented them to embody qualities we aspired to — the griffin's combination of nobility and ferocity, the phoenix's promise of rebirth, the dragon's fierce guardianship. They're symbols made flesh, or at least made story.
I approach Mythical Beast designs with reverence for that accumulated meaning. Each creature carries thousands of years of human dreaming, and I try to honour that weight. These aren't mere decorations but talismans of specific powers.
People who choose Mythical Beast pieces often know exactly which creature they need. Something in them recognises something in the beast. It's a recognition that goes deeper than aesthetics, into the territory of personal mythology.
We stopped officially believing in mythical beasts, but we never stopped needing them. They show up in our stories, our dreams, our metaphors. The phoenix of rising from ashes. The chimera of impossible combinations. The unicorn of rare and precious things.
My Mythical Beast designs are invitations to claim that energy for yourself. Which beast speaks to you? What quality does it embody that you want to carry with you? The piece you choose becomes a portable piece of personal mythology.
I make these for the people who understand that 'imaginary' doesn't mean 'unreal' — that the creatures we dream into being often capture something truer than mere facts. Mythical beasts are concentrated meaning, and wearing one is carrying that meaning with you.
