ABOUT LUCKY LITTLE BLIGHTERS

The Lucky Little Blighters team is just me, myself and I. I design and make everything in North London. I make my pieces in wax and then cast them in metal. The casting technique I use is the lost wax technique which is a really ancient way of casting. Ghanaians are the absolute world champions of this method.

I studied for 2 years at Torquay Tech doing a brilliant pre degree course , then 4 years at Middlesex Poly (Uni now) where I took a very inspiring Jewellery BA Honours Degree.

I can design well because I’m dyslexic, it didn’t help at school but it does now!

I love making huge statement pieces, ones that make it impossible to put your hand in your pocket are best, ones you never forget are on because of the weight. They should definitely stop you doing the washing up!

Some of the names of my pieces are taken from tracks that I have been listening to while designing them- you can tell I like Kaytranada and Blue Lab Beats a lot!

The solid sterling silver is hallmarked at the historic London Assay Office and pieces are also available in brass or gold plate. If you have another metal you fancy using such as gold or bronze, please ask for a quote. 

Commissions are very welcome!

There are no jewellery rules in the Lucky Little Blighters World. I often get asked if ‘that’s a ‘man’s ring’ or if men can wear it or soooooo often, women especially say ‘sorry, my fingers are really big ‘ My jewellery is for everyone to wear, however you like, whichever way up, an earring in your hair, and I can make ANY size ring or piece, there are no limits…

My other passions - I have 2 amazing children, Taali who runs Dope Black Queers, Healthy Filth and hosts Queer House Party and Namali who is the producer half of Blue Lab Beats, my husband Kwame runs Ferocious Talent Ltd, Cre8ing Vision and Gurushack and they are all a massive inspiration and huge source of joy in my life.

I’m Queer, coming out as bi at a grand old age with the help of my lovely family. Any POC, members of the LGBTQI+ community, disabled community & women, please message me for a discount code as I know life is more expensive

I’m vegan and I have DJ’d since 1991-strictly vinyl. You can catch me at Chip Shop Brixton or at Brixton Village Lates, I often do jewellery pickups there and always have my ring sizer in my record box!
