Desiderate was born when I found myself with a chronic incurable illness and I had to find a way to support my family. 

After being diagnosed with Lupus SLE, my health went downhill and I couldn’t work. I lost my eyesight, my hair and much more, but this is about how I turned it around.

Before becoming so unwell, I owned and lived in my dream home, yet it all came tumbling down. I was left with no home or income, and I needed cash – fast. I knew I had to rebuild my life into something I wanted to live and what I could do was restricted, and I’d lost my home, my career and my health. I was really desperate to survive

I had no idea of starting a jewellery business, I was only worried about providing for my children and building a new life.

Desiderate was born in 2017 and since then, I’ve grown the business to employ a team and support silversmiths and artists with commissions of my designs. I’ve built our website and taught myself how to run a successful eCommerce business. 

I’m beyond grateful for the support of my valued customers. Desiderate is my phoenix rising from the ashes. I didn’t know then that it would be the catalyst to living a more complete life, one that I could only dream of years ago.
