christina nevin: 

Born in London, Christina grew up in the sunny harbour city of Auckland, New Zealand along with her older sister and younger twin sister. At university she pursued her love of times gone by, graduating with a Masters degree in Ancient History and then moving into the more modern field of IT technical writing. Currently she's back in London, enjoying the urban fizz (but rather missing the better weather).

Since her childhood Christina has had a fascination with shiny objects - both in acquiring and creating them. Jewellery making has been a constant pursuit over the years, starting as a teenager when her father taught her how to solder, enamel and use power tools, and continuing in a lifelong learning curve. In 2002 she completed the PMC certification course and is an accredited PMC teacher.

Christina’s work is a combination of assembled and fabricated pieces, depending on where the creative spirit moves her. Antique Greek and Roman fashions remain some of her strongest influences, and as an occasional medieval re-enactor, she is also inspired by the colour and vibrancy of the jewellery of the Middle Ages.
