The instant success it created was soon met with a full time career in jewelry design. She has since designed exclusively her own collections and periodically for other designers such as Whistles, Paul Smith Women and others. Her work can also be seen in folms such as Emma, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Love Actually. She has exhibited her work internationally including the slipstitch touring exhibitionm the Adelaide festival and Southerbys new designers 2000. Her work is available in leading stores worldwide including many stores in America, Japan, and Australia as well as across the U.K and Europe.
