During his early childhood, Harry lived in Pakistan and India where his passion for jewellery began. In Kathmandu around Christmas time when he was only 8 years old, he entered a workshop with his mother who was having a ring commissioned. From that moment, seeing the craftsmen at their benches; he knew that he wanted to design and create.

With this memory in mind, he left school at 16 years old and went straight into the jewellery trade. Whilst he was being trained, he sat next to the engravers and in later years, this inspired him to take up engraving which has since become a passion.

Influences in his pieces stem from memories, nature and his environment and often feature fragments from Asian decorative patterns and architectural elements.
