Award-Winning recognition
Meeting Theo Paphitis at the #SBS Annual Event
One of the highlights of my small business journey was attending the annual #SBS (Small Business Sunday) event and meeting retail entrepreneur Theo Paphitis in person.
After being selected as an #SBS winner, I was invited to receive my official certificate from Theo – a proud moment and a wonderful recognition of the passion and dedication behind my work.
As someone who spends countless hours mudlarking, researching the stories behind historic finds, and transforming them into unique pieces of jewellery, it was incredibly rewarding to have my business recognised as part of the #SBS community. The event also provided the opportunity to meet and network with hundreds of inspiring small business owners from across the UK.
Receiving my certificate from Theo is a milestone I'll always remember and one that continues to inspire me as I uncover forgotten pieces of history and give them a new life through my jewellery.
Press Coverage
Featured in the Press
Over the years, my work has been featured in local, regional, and national press, recognising both my mudlarking discoveries and the jewellery I create from pieces of history.
From exhibitions showcasing remarkable finds from historic waterways to articles exploring the research behind each artefact and the stories they reveal, the media has helped share my passion for uncovering the past. My jewellery has also been featured for its unique approach to preserving history, transforming genuine historic finds into wearable pieces that connect people with centuries gone by.
Each feature has been an opportunity to introduce more people to the fascinating world of mudlarking and to demonstrate how overlooked fragments of history can be researched, understood, and given a new life. Whether highlighting an exhibition, a particularly significant discovery, or the craftsmanship behind a jewellery collection, every article has helped celebrate the heritage that inspires my work.
I'm incredibly grateful to the journalists, editors, and publications that have shared my story and helped bring the history behind my discoveries to a wider audience.
