A SPECIAL XMAS SALE NOTE!!

All items ordered during my Pre-Christmas Sale are being made to order, bespoke. I have very limited numbers of some of the gemstones and beads, so that will be why only a few people will be able to purchase certain designs before they sell out.

Only items ordered before, and during, this sale will be guaranteed for delivery in time for the Holidays... I will ensure their dispatch before the final postal dates from the UK, and within the UK, before the last Special Delivery Date.

***If you live outside the UK, I can have items couriered to you at a cost of £50.00 to arrive within a few days... this would be perfect if you want an item for a Christmas party, so please get in touch if you would like to purchase this upgrade.

ABOUT ME...

I established my small workshop in the Summer of 2005, and am based in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland. I moved to Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2010 to live with my beau Ryan, whom I run a homewares business (abigail*ryan) with, too.

I make all the jewellery by hand using traditional jewellery techniques, and from my own designs inspired by natural forms and architectural detailing.

Each item is hand-made and as such will vary slightly from piece to piece, this is part of the charm of hand-made and means each piece is totally unique!

The Vintage Collection; entirely produced by hand, from Sterling Silver, plated with 18ct gold for a chalky ochre antique colouring, hand carved and stained faux ivory, freshwater pearls and beautiful semi-precious stones and beads. A selection of diffusion catalogue designs and best-sellers, limited editions and one off pieces.

My background is First Class BA Hons [Design] in Silversmithing and Jewellery from Glasgow School of Art.
