Every Shiny People piece starts life in my South London studio. Most pieces begin as a block or tube of jeweller’s wax. I carve, shape and refine it by hand, slowly building up the form until it feels just right. It’s a tactile, sometimes slightly obsessive process — and small imperfections are part of what makes a handmade piece feel like yours.

Once the wax model is finished, it makes a short journey across London to my local casting partner, where it’s transformed into precious metal. I work with a small, trusted team so I can keep the process close to home and know exactly where each stage is happening.

When the piece comes back from casting, it's straight back to my bench where I clean up the metal. If your piece has a stone, this is where I carefully set it by hand before giving everything its final finish.

Then comes the polishing — the bit that brings the metal to life and one of my favourite parts - it's like butter and becomes so beautifully shiny.

I share little glimpses of the process over on TikTok, from carving wax and working at the bench to pieces coming together along the way.
