CrocArt

I was inspired in the 1960s by Breon O’Casey, a wonderful craftsman who lived in St Ives. Since then, I’ve been making handmade jewelry through the years, now working mostly on commissions from past clients and friends.

I find ideas in the ancient civilisations—Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Celts, Vikings, and the First Nations of North America—then adapt these designs to create pieces using the minimum of machinery.

I like to think my work could be described as “dug up.” I favor textured, beaten finishes and slightly uneven shapes over highly polished, smooth, and “modern” work. No two pieces are ever the same.

I particularly enjoy using clients’ old family jewellery in gold (preferably 14 to 22 carat) and sterling silver to fashion new items that honour both the materials and their history.

Contact me to discuss commissions or purchase existing work.
