Contemporary silver and resin jewellery that celebrates simplicity of form, juxtaposing clean modern lines with hand crushed silicon carbide, identified by iridescent crystals changing in colour from purple to green to bluish-black.

Angela studied at Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School, in Florence, Italy where she developed her process driven by experimentation. She returned to Ireland in 2011 to continue her studies in Jewellery and Goldsmithing at The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland in Kilkenny. She has since won numerous awards including Editors Choice at International Jewellery London 2014 and exhibited internationally at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York and Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach.
