Predominantly the theme of Lesley’s silver with 9ct gold jewellery is her Distinctly Deco Collection. She is drawn by the contemporary sleek and clean lines of the early 20th Century, the Art Deco Era. However, living and working near the coast she cannot fail to be inspired by the beauty of her surroundings with the Coastal, Green and Horse Collections.
The Green Collection also alludes to the fact that she purchases all her bullion from dealers who use mines for their gold and silver who adhere to the "Golden Rules" of mining: these rules ensure that the workers and surrounding areas are protected and that this can be independently verified.
Her bespoke jewellery is hand crafted using traditional methods with the highest degree of care and skill in her Dorset studio. She chooses not to use machine casting or ready made settings for her gems, preferring that every item she makes should be as individual as the person wearing it.
Having received Gold Awards for her silver jewellery every year since 2007 in the largest annual county based competition and being in receipt of the coveted trophy for metalwork; 2010 further saw a pendant of hers being featured in Vogue Magazine.
She runs an online gallery where her work can be purchased direct but also enjoys commissions where customers would like to add their own personal touch to her existing designs.
