The Designer

Hi, I'm Clare - a predominantly self taught beaded jewellery designer and metal smith from the Cotswolds, U.K.

I've always loved creating and after 12 years of London corporate life, decided I wanted to move back to the countryside - and actually be creative!

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.

Materials

I don't have a favourite metal to work with, I really do appreciate the beauty of them all. I tend to look at the beads, or gemstones I'm working with and then work backwards to choose my metal. The majority of my earrings are available in an optional sterling silver, or stainless steel finish for those with sensitive ears - just in case!

  • Suppliers

    I use UK based suppliers and other artisans wherever possible.

    Supporting other small businesses is important to me.

  • Sterling Silver

    All of the sterling silver used in my designs is 100% recycled.

    I also recycle all my scraps and turn them into new shiny pieces!

  • Gemstones

    The crystals and gemstones used in my designs are AA+ grade quality as a minimum.
