I design and make ethical music-inspired jewellery from recycled guitar strings wire-wrapped with beads, gemstones and charms.

Thank you for visiting my page! All my jewellery pieces are made using recycled guitar strings wire-wrapped with beads, gemstones and charms often taken from broken vintage pieces. I got hooked when I stocked a few pieces from US designers on a guitar accessories website I run with my husband www.guitarbox.co.uk. I soon started designing and I love trying out different ideas and seeing what unusual effects I can achieve. All my pieces are one of a kind and I regularly showcase my work at monthly artisan markets in the North West, currently Levenshulme, Northern Quarter and West Didsbury in Manchester, Rawtenstall in Lancashire and various vegan events in the region.
