Gemstones and minerals have allured Avrina since childhood.  Precious gemstones are the reason she is a jeweller.  She remains fascinated by their individual beauty.  Avrina has travelled extensively around the world to source unusual minerals and beautiful gemstones.

Avrina has a Diploma in Gemmology, specialising in diamonds to understand their qualities and uses them with confidence.  She has been making jewellery since 1985 and has a first class B.A Hons from Central St. Martins, London (University of the Arts London).

Gold and silver are the materials Avrina has found to express her artistic voice.  There is sculptural quality to her designs, her preferred method is to carve from wax and cast into metal.  She considers wax is a lovely material to form and shape, enabling her  to give both a heft and softness to her pieces, resulting in them being very comfortable to wear.

Avrina is motivated to make jewellery that reflects longevity, using her deep understanding of how gemstones and minerals grow.  She seeks to create jewels that pay tribute to that timescale and to make pieces that can be worn everyday for generations.

Avrina has created jewellery for some of the most prestigious designers including Paul Smith, Patrick Cox and other fashion houses. She now specialises in unique and bespoke commissions for her discerning clients in the UK and abroad.
