She set up her business styled 'Art Jewellers and Silversmiths' at 69 Kensington Church Street in the early 1920s, apparently presiding over the workshop in caftan and Russian boots. The Church Street shop closed at the outbreak of war in 1939, although after the war her craftsman, W. Nathanson, continued the business under her name until 1971.
