Her designs reflect a blend of natural elements and personal experiences, resulting in unique and captivating pieces.
Ethics and sustainability are at the heart of Farah's business practices. She prioritises the use of recycled materials to reduce environmental impact and ensures that her gold is sourced from Fairtrade suppliers, benefiting the communities associated with the mines.
Farah works from her small but welcoming studio, which doubles as a showroom for her creations.
Her passion extends beyond creating jewellery; she also enjoys teaching workshops to share her expertise with others.
In summary, Farah brings years of experience, creativity and a commitment to sustainability to her work.
