Hello and welcome! I'm Jill, your friendly neighbourhood jeweller in the heart of South Aberdeenshire. You might say silver runs in my veins (not literally, of course), but my fascination with all things shiny and sparkly has been a lifelong affair. From crafting trinkets for friends in school to creating sophisticated silver jewellery, my journey has been nothing short of a magical adventure.
Let's rewind to 2009, a pivotal year on my shiny journey. A couple of courses at a community college rekindled my dormant passion for jewellery making. I found a new love in designing costume jewellery, intertwining it with colour analysis principles. Fast forward to 2014, I found myself falling head over heels with silver jewellery making. What began as crafting gifts for my loved ones culminated into something more profound.
My journey into the intricate world of silversmithing began with my handmade silver creations. This journey further refined my skills and led to the birth of my unique jewellery maker's mark, registered proudly at the Edinburgh Assay Office.
My handmade silver creations reflect the beauty that surrounds me. The lush Scottish Borders, the tranquil South Aberdeenshire countryside, all find a way to manifest in my designs. Nature is my muse, and sustainability, my commitment. I strive to use repurposed environmentally friendly materials wherever feasible, weaving my love for the earth into my creations.
And after years of filling my home with my shiny creations (and a little persuasion from my loved ones), I decided it was time to share my passion with the world. So, whether you're looking to treat yourself or someone special to silver earrings, pendants, or a bangle you've come to the right place.
