It is our love of nature, and our surroundings in particular, that provide the main inspiration for our work. In Pembrokeshire we are lucky to have both wonderful countryside and spectacular coastal scenery on our doorstep, offering endless ideas for design. The fascinating textures of organic forms and fluid rhythms of the sea and rivers constantly fuel our enthusiasm for creating jewellery in silver and gold. Designs taken from tree forms, leaves and wild flowers also feature regularly in our collections, portrayed in a contemporary style.

John, a keen photographer, uses his camera to capture all these wonders, creating a valuable source book for the work.

     

Wild Bryony grows freely in the hedgerows, winding  around neighbouring stems for support. From this we have produced a collection of work based on this plant, to include earrings, necklace and ring.

     

Delicate drops of dew on a blade of grass resulted in our Dewdrop earrings
Pennywort, growing through our slate walls in the garden, formed the base of a series of designs for earrings, brooch and a ring

                     

Contrasting textures feature highly in our work - seen here in the 'Grasses' necklace and the sea, sand and rocks of the Shoreline pendant

Trees, with their fascinating shapes and patterns, bark and roots, inspire our designs.

In contrast we also produce totally abstract designs, using texture and shape to create interest. Our aim is to offer our customers as wide a choice as possible and something quite different from anything they may see in the High Street.
