After deciding not to return to work after having my second child, I suffered something of an identity crisis - I think many mums feel that way. I felt frumpy, and like a piece of "me" had disappeared along with my career.
I've always loved jewellery. Sadly, jewellery and young children do not mix, and I felt naked without it.
Midnight googling revealed that teething jewellery existed - initially I was thrilled, but I struggled to find anything that suited my style. I bought one anyway and my son LOVED it, but I still felt it wasn't really "me". So I decided to make my own.
In terms of aesthetics, I am drawn to the unusual, something that jars the eye, but just somehow works. This has developed into my trademark "wonky" style, and offers something a bit different. They say symmetry is beauty, but I find beauty in the imperfections, the gaps and the jolts.
I have tried to create pieces that will take women beyond teething, combining style with practicality. Pieces that I would want to wear even if I was going out on my own. Everything is chewable, robust enough to endure the most enthusiastic toddler hugs, but stylish. And for me, that feels pretty good right now!
