Disc 
 
 
The Disc Choker designs incorporate a  diverse range of inlaid materials from humble wild seed husks and shell fragments to timber veneer, gold leaf and photographic images.
The highly polished surface of each disc has a magnifying effect on the encased objects, changing the perception of the often discarded and ignored materials.

Designs have evolved from the classic disc chokers to elaborate pieces incorporating slices of resin with coloured glass beads.
Chunky medallions are combined with marble sized beads. Large clear balls of highly polished resin encapsulate and magnify delicate shell specimens.
New shapes are being developed from the edgier stainless steel pieces to longer classic styles reflecting Mandarin necklaces, where large pendants inlaid with metal leaf and minature ceramic torsos are suspended from strings of resin and glass beads.
