"I think the ivy leaf pieces are the most symbolic of everything I stand for and everything I've written about in my book Evergreen. Ivy is a true evergreen, enduring through the seasons and continuing to grow regardless of what nature, or indeed life, throws at it. There's something rather beautiful about that resilience. It doesn't need to be showy to be strong. For me, the ivy has become a very personal symbol of the collection and of the Evergreen philosophy itself: to keep growing, to put down roots, to find beauty in the seasons and to endure."

"I also have a particular love for the Evergreen stone pieces, especially the ring. They speak to my love of heritage, antique jewellery and those timeless pieces that feel as though they might have been discovered in a grandmother's jewellery box. They're a little more glamorous, but still incredibly wearable, and I love that they can bring a touch of sparkle to the everyday. I suppose that's really what I wanted from the collection as a whole: pieces that feel timeless rather than tied to a particular moment."

"The ivy leaf earrings and Evergreen stone earrings have also become favourites because they're so wonderfully versatile. I've worn them dressed up for events and just as happily with something much more casual. I've worn the ivy leaf brooch on knits and scarves, and for a recent event with The King's Trust, I even wore it in my hair."

"I love jewellery that isn't prescriptive, where you can decide how you want to wear it rather than it telling you when it is appropriate. None of these pieces were designed for one particular occasion or one particular outfit. They're designed to live with you. To be worn, collected, layered, gifted and rediscovered. And I think that's the real joy of them. Jewellery should become part of the fabric of your everyday life, gathering memories along the way."
