...
Donna is a jewellery designer and maker based in South East Cornwall, where she
works from her small home studio.

A lover of line and form, Donna takes inspiration from architecture and nature to create
her timeless jewellery. She uses the traditional method of lost wax casting to capture
fluid lines in recycled silver, using the resulting individual shapes to make her
understated jewellery. Influenced by the repeat patterns in nature, Donna builds up
larger statement pieces with the playful arrangement of multiple components,
sculpting them into organic forms that evoke branches, leaves and movement in water.

Donna made silver jewellery for many years before returning to study for a BA (Hons)
in Jewellery at Arts University Plymouth (formally Plymouth College of Art), and
graduated in 2020 with a First Class degree.
