The Ginkgo Story

I’ve always loved wandering through gardens and arboretums.
They are places to slow down, breathe some fresh air and notice the seasonal changes. And I enjoy how each visit feels different depending on the time of year.

The ginkgo tree has always stood out to me with its fan shaped leaves, and there is something so grounding about a tree that has been here for millions of years

In Chinese culture the ginkgo is seen as a symbol of balance and harmony, and I have always liked that thought. Known to live for more than a thousand years, the tree also symbolises longevity and natural balance.

Its distinctive leaves reflect yin and yang, a reminder of the way opposites can sit together. For me, the ginkgo is a reminder to stay grounded and trust in steady growth, something I try to carry through my working day.

This is the inspiration behind my new Ginkgo jewels. Unique pieces, each handcrafted by me in my little garden studio using recycled silver and traditional techniques. Every design begins with a simple ginkgo leaf, shaped and formed completely by hand. Some have little pearls or gemstones.

As each piece is made individually they have their own small differences and character, and that is what makes them feel so special. Jewellery with a personal touch, meaningful and made to last.

These simple botanical pieces are thoughtful keepsakes crafted for nature lovers, and a lovely reminder of balance, patience and taking things one step at a time.
