Angela is an experimental jeweller whose work is defined by its unique language using salt crystals, glass shards and crushed semi precious gemstones in combination with gold, silver, resin and pigment. Her practice is driven by experimentation and she often employs deliberate chance when creating her jewels.

The Salt Crystal Collection was inspired by a swim in the Dead Sea. Emerging from the water Angela was captivated by the crystals of salt that formed on her skin in the sunlight. For her, these Dead Sea crystals represented the very purest form of jewellery. She combines salt crystals with precious metals, resin and pigment to enhance the natural beauty and emphasise the elemental nature of salt, as an essential substance for life.

Angela is a graduate of the Crafts Council of Ireland Jewellery and Goldsmithing Course, has a Diploma in ‘Art Jewellery’ from ALCHIMIA Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Italy and a MA (Hons) in History of Art from St. Andrew’s University. Angela has exhibited her work internationally at LOOT: MAD about Jewellery at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York; Bijoux!
