'Mari's work redefined the meaning of Welsh jewellery' quote
Breaking boundaries redefining art in wales contemporary etc
WALES - HOME
Mari’s home, Wales, is the beating heart of her collections. Mari does not follow trends, she purely designs around a spark ignited by a feeling; being inspired by the wonders of her homeland. Being rooted in Wales has provided Mari with a rich depth of texture, sound, majestic landscape and cultural stories to weave into her work.
Mari’s jewellery collections is about inspiring a connection between the wearer and homeland, Wales.
Pieces of Mari’s jewellery are more than decorative, they are a symbol of being connected to something higher than ourselves.

We want to be a business that is a force for good within our community. It is important for us to be able to use our position as a business and play a positive role, throughout the year we choose two or three local charities to support.
Some of the charities we have supported have included the following - please click on them to find out more information.
Latterly we supported the effort to help Ukrainians by making and donating three 18ct gold rings to raffle through the sale of tickets - all money raised went to the charity the Disasters Emergency Committee
