What's Your Favourite JM Moment?

That is difficult I have so many, in the early days when we were doing promo’s, the promo for the X-Factor about 3 years ago I think. We laughed so much it took quite a while to film, and a lot was cut out!

Background/How long have you been making jewellery?

I have been making jewellery for about 12 years. Having many hobbies though the years. I have used gemstones and accessories with all of my hobbies, cardmaking, wedding stationery, parchment , textiles and of course jewellery which Linda and I used to do for raising money for charities.

What courses do you teach both for JM and outside and why?

I teach the Bridal Accessories, Bridal Intermediate and Bridal Bouquets workshops at JM.

Who/What else inspires you outside of JM and why?

When I went to see Monet’s Gardens a couple of years ago. I was inspired by the gorgeous array of diverse colours. I always say never be afraid to mix your colours which you would normally never mix. You will be amazed at the result.

What is your favourite colour?

All the colours of the rainbow (seriously I love the calmness and tranquillity of blue.)

What is your favourite gemstone?

My birthstone is Aquamarine and pearls are a close second.
