About Stephanie

The main component of my jewellery is translucent resin, a hard plastic produced by combining a liquid and a catalyst. I use translucent resin as it allows me to incorporate a wide range of tints and effects to produce colours with the subtlety and depth of glass, at a fraction of the weight. This makes it incredibly light to wear, enabling me to create the spectacular larger pieces which I and my customers find so exciting. I spend a lot of time experimenting with colour pigments, which are added to the resin to achieve the desired tints and effects.

The questions I am most asked about my pieces are 'how is it made?' and 'what are the pieces inside?' Briefly, I incorporate pre-cast elements, foils, and indeed pieces of other acrylic materials into the work, to create compositions and accent colours. Once the designs are made up, moulds are flooded with the final colour which is common to each collection, and cured in a carefully temperature-controlled environment. This process is very time intensive, but it allows me to be highly creative, and produces unique pieces which are original and therefore exclusive to each owner. Once cast, all pieces are meticulously sanded, hand-shaped and refined before receiving a final polishing, which reveals the deep, lustrous colours and sculptural forms which characterise my work.
