One wrong move and these earrings are destroyed.

Before silver can be formed into jewellery, it needs to be annealed — carefully heated to soften the metal after piercing and shaping. Too little heat and the risk is the silver will be too brittle and crack. Too much and the silver can easily overheat, distort or even melt.

I use a simple black permanent marker to help judge the temperature. As the silver heats up, the marker lines disappear, letting me know the metal has reached annealing temperature without overheating.

You shouldn’t have to choose between big statement earrings and comfort.

These earrings are made of a biodegradable material so lightweight you really can wear these earrings all day, and all night.

Designed and made in my studio in the UK, available on my website (link in bio).

What colour would you choose?

Most people don’t realise just how difficult this is.
This is a piercing saw working along a template stuck directly to sterling silver sheet. Every line is carefully cut by hand. There are no shortcuts, just the saw, the silver, and a steady hand built from years of practice.
This is how many pieces of Roxwoods jewellery starts, meticulous piercing to ensure a perfect finished piece.
I'm sharing the whole process this week. Follow along to see how these turn out.

This is where the making begins.

Before it is a piece of jewellery, it is a sheet of silver and a question. This is where the Colour of Survival collection begins, with a fresh piece of silver and my favourite tool - my piercing saw.

Comment if this sounds familiar — and stay for slide 5.

Getting dressed used to mean something. It was the moment you decided how you were going to show up. Somewhere between the school runs, the deadlines, and the decade of putting everyone else first, that moment quietly disappeared.

It doesn't have to stay that way.

Roxwoods jewellery is made for women who are ready to come first again. One piece. That's all it takes.

There are lakes in Western Australia where the water runs vivid pink and crimson. Not because of algae, not because of pollution. Because of microorganisms called extremophiles — tiny organisms that survive only in conditions too harsh for almost anything else. The colour is a byproduct of that survival. Beauty produced under pressure.

I first came across images of these lakes while doing research for my degree. I couldn't stop looking at them. Viewed from above, they are graphic and geometric, where human-made salt ponds meet natural formations, sharp boundaries between colour fields, the landscape altered and strangely beautiful for it.

That tension, between hostility and beauty, between natural systems and human intervention, is what the Colour of Survival collection is built on.

These are the Salar earrings from the collection. On the website now. Link in bio.

This is the part that takes the longest.

Polishing isn't one step — it's several, each compound finer than the last, each one removing the marks left by the stage before. You work through them in sequence. There are no shortcuts and no way to skip ahead. The surface tells you when it's ready.

These silver hoop earrings are polished on the inside and frosted on the outside. Both surfaces are deliberate — each one refers back to the landscape that inspired the collection. But that's a story for another post.

The earrings are on the website. Link in bio.

Ruining it made it better

Last week I shared part of the frosting process on this silver cuff and so many of you wanted to see the finished piece. Here it is.

The frosting wheel works by cutting thousands of tiny marks into the surface of the silver, slowly building up this soft, sparkling texture as I work across the metal by hand.

What I love most is the contrast. The outside catches the light with that frosted finish, while the inside is highly polished and smooth against the skin. Two completely different surfaces on the same piece of silver.

It’s one of those techniques that looks slightly terrifying halfway through… but the final finish makes it worth it.

Which finish do you prefer — polished or textured?

Every finished piece begins with a series of decisions.

The link design.�
The scale.�
The movement.�
The engineering.�
The colour.�
The surface.
How it feels when worn.

What looks effortless in the final piece is the result of hours of testing, adjusting and assembling by hand.

This chain is made from individually assembled acrylic links, developed in my workshop before becoming the finished statement piece you see in slide 5.

This is me ruining the silver surface.

Ok, not really ruining it so much as making it better.

The frosting wheel spins fast enough to throw metal fragments, which is why the safety glasses are non-negotiable. Then it’s just patience, working slowly from one end of the cuff to the other, to create a uniform even surface, letting the surface transform as you go.

The change happens right in front of you. One pass and the silver stops being flat. It starts catching the light.

Come see the finished cuff - now on my website.
