I'm a jewellery designer, goldsmith and setter. I started in the trade in 1993 in South Africa. I have worked in Pretoria- South Africa, London- UK, and Ottawa- Canada. I have an affinity to platinum, but my staple metals are 10, 14 and 19K gold. I design using Rhino and Gemvision Matrix. I use a Roland MDX40 CNC machine for cutting my waxes. I still create the majority of my work by hand so as not to become totally reliant on technology and lose the edge and skill I have developed over the years in forging jewellery by hand.; -
