"I work intuitively following a personal journey from the moment I am inspired, during the design process and whilst physically making an item of jewellery."
Ruth opened Skylarking, her shop and workshop in 2015, all items of jewellery are designed and made by Ruth on the Isle of Wight.
All designs go through a careful process. The initial sketch is made and developed, then each design is handcrafted in either silver, gold or white gold adding pearls or precious and semi precious stones.
