Those of you who know me personally, know
Swimming in Stones is my love job, not my career.
My career supports my love job. But as love
implies, this connection to jewellery and the
people who create it with me, is pure joy. 2020
reawakened my passion. My greatest achievement
this past year has been the realignment of my
values, my purpose in starting SIS (in 2007...
sheesh) and a new socially conscious collection
that I'm very proud to share. In May, my Indian
connection contacted me understandably sad and
quite desperate. Covid-19. Fear. No work.
Talented Artisans fleeing Jaipur to the villages
where there was and still is, very little work. I
sent my friend money. Twice...before the light
went on. Inspired, I have spent the last 6 months
with purpose. 5am starts before work designing,
dusting off old plans and sprinkling them with
new thinking. And importantly, collaborating with
very talented Artisans. Under strict Covid-19
safety protocols, we had a team able to work,
earn money and provide for their families.

Swimming in Stones is committed that Every
piece tells a story. Sentiment. Stone.
Craftsmanship. Every piece is designed to be
handcrafted and use traditional methods to create
more jobs for our Artisans. The bespoke SIS
Studio is small people are safe, we reduce
waste. We use quality materials semi precious
gemstones, 925 Silver and 22 Carat Gold Vermeil
(4 micron of Gold over 925 Silver). We create
only a very small quantity of each design. To
serve humans who are inspired by other humans,
the planet and craftsmanship. For every piece
sold, 1 of sales is donated back to the
community or environment as I help the team
become more sustainable, but focussing on people
first.

• The world is going to take time to adjust to the
  new normal in western countries, in India I
  imagine it's going to take some serious time. My
  mission for 2021 is to engage these Artisans in
  regular work, every day. So rather than
  procrastinate, worrying about personal 'selling
  my designs' barriers, I'm now more than ever,
  driven to support these talented, deserving
  people.

• If you feel inspired, you can be the first to
  purchase Human Kind, ?there are only 5 of each
  product as Ive moved into higher quality
  materials and am ensuring the team are more than
  appropriately compensated.
