Seaglass was the main reason I got into jewellery making. Seaglass is basically a waste product that’s been churned around at the bottom of the seabed for many years until it finally gets washed ashore after being transformed into a remarkable and stunning piece of seaglass. Whilst I am a collector of beautiful things I didn’t want my seaglass to gather dust or sit in a drawer. I wanted it to be loved and appreciated. Seaglass and silver is the perfect match, something that’s technically recycled complemented with a precious metal such as silver into unique jewellery that can be loved and cherished and handed down through the generations.
Whilst my passion is obviously seaglass and transforming recycled materials into beautiful jewellery I cannot deny that I am a lover of conventional gemstones too. There is something so sophisticated about faceted jewels that cannot be ignored.
One of my most popular designs was my collection of Silver and broken buoy jewellery. I have collected bits of broken buoy for many years. Basically plastic buoyancy aids that have got damaged out at sea and washed up on a beach somewhere. My buoys have all been washed ashore on the stunning beaches of the Isle of Harris where we go to relax and unwind whenever we can. I had often wondered what I could create from these broken bits of plastic so when I got into jewellery making it was an obvious solution. The plastic can be cut into any shape and set in silver to create something so unusual. Whilst buoys come in most colours the green is most popular as it does resemble something considerably more expensive when it’s polished. If you are interested in a bespoke piece of buoy and silver jewellery then please get in touch via the contact me page.
