The organic formation of these pieces allows them to look like kin to these ancient stones – they could fall within the mud for hundreds of years, and be found again, perfectly suited to their earthly home. Cast into the bone of a cephalopod, this ancient technique of casting within a cuttlebone allows for organic moulding of organic metal against the unique markings within the cuttlefish bone.

During wash ups on the sea, the flotsam can bring ashore masses of cuttlebone – during storms I have hand-combed these pieces from the shores where I live, and have carved into them designs for my kerbstone series.
Heating molten metal and seeing what nature decides to formulate from the combination, this is a bespoke ring with none other like it. Forged in pewter, filed and finished by hand, I finally stamp these pieces with iconography as seen on the ancient kerbstones of neolithic monuments and buildings such as Newgrange.

Each piece is lovingly hand-carved, hand-cast, handmade, and hand finished.
