The Designer
Hi, I'm Clare - a silver smith and beaded jewellery designer from Gloucestershire.
Jewellery has always been a passion. I love the impact a piece has on a person. Whether as a confidence boost to yourself, or a treasured gift from a loved one.
That little jolt of happiness you experience each time you wear or look at it. That joy, was something I wanted to create and I feel very blessed to be able to do so.
I find inspiration in the countryside where I live and explore with Willow. I love to incorporate wildflowers, owls, deer, feathers, and sunrise colours in my work.
And of course the sea is another source of inspiration. I'm a huge fan of the U.K coast and many of my designs are born out of trips to Devon and Wales. I love incorporating beach combing finds into my work and packaging.
