'D'Artagnan dances'
I was born in Bissoe, Cornwall.
I studied at the Royal College of Music in London,
where I lived for many years.
After a long career as a professional opera singer,
I returned to Cornwall,
and now live near Crowan.
I design and make all my jewellery, using real cultured freshwater pearls, sterling silver, and gold.
I am fascinated by Roman jewellery, where the functional develops seamlessly into the decorative.
Many of the pieces that I make are unique, as are the pearls themselves.
Caring for your pearls
1 Keep your pearls in a soft pouch on their own,
not with other jewellery,
as they can easily be scratched by gemstones.
2 Put your make-up, hairspray and perfume on first,
and put your pearls on just before you go out.
Do not spray perfume onto your pearls.
Beware of vinegar in salad dressings.
Beware of chlorine in swimming-pools.
3 Do not keep pearls in a hot, dry place.
Remember where they come from.
4 It is a good idea to wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth before putting
them away, to remove the sweat and dirt that will accumulate over time.
5 Have your pearls re-strung once a year.
6 Pearls like to be worn.
