My Story

I live at the Southern tip of Africa where the two oceans meet, the Indian and the Atlantic.

My home, which I share with my husband, son, daughter, 2 dogs and 2 cats, is on the slopes of Table Mountain in the City of Cape Town. I make jewellery because I love the creative process, from sourcing the components to the finished piece.

Grossmama's journal is inspired by my own Grossmama who had a farm in Africa, where I, as a child

had wonderfilled holidays. Grossmama always dressed for dinner and wore
beautiful jewellery. Some of which is now mine to treasure and wear. It also inspired me to create my own. Her journal is an account of the life she lived and the people she met, after leaving her home in Switzerland.

The energy in the joy of making my pieces will be felt by the wearer.

From my African Heart to yours,....... wherever you are.
