• After my mother’s thyroidectomy, she was left with a large scar running across the base of her neck. As she was self-conscious about this scar, I started to make jewellery for her to cover the area and discovered that her jewellery needs had changed as a result of her condition.

  I began to do research into the medical treatment of scars as well as make jewellery that could help to cover and soothe the skin of the scar while it healed. I soon discovered healing materials as well as new fabric technology that creates clean skin surfaces through anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and odour-resistant properties. The focus of my work now is to research and utilise new medical materials for the purpose of healing wounds through jewellery.
