About

Davina is an educator, designer and maker. Having completed her academic studies at Goldsmiths University, both a BA Hons in 2001 and a Masters in Design Studies, Practice and Theory in 2010, she has continued her natural path of workshop facilitation, designing and developing her body adornment range.

Her body adornment range began in 2004 when she undertook a City & Guilds in Jewellery that grew out of her desire to use her inspiration of nature, architecture, geometric forms and craft.

Davina creates beautiful handmade jewellery and tactile homewares. Davina’s fabulous collections shows ingenuity of design, care and appreciation of materials and demonstrates her informed knowledge of design as a practice.

She produces elegant works of design by using simple techniques such as piercing metal sheet, soldering and cold connections. Jewellery is created in silver, gold and wood, using precious and semi-precious stones with her work defined by its strong structure, delicate concept and aesthetic qualities. 

Her subject areas are: touch, sense, connections and fittings, combinations, changing of scale, intimacy and stimulation of the mind through a functional object. Her work explores the idea of movement of an object, how easy it is to hold, to feel, to touch.
