The story behind the Studio
Natural objects recreated in silver
My silver pieces began when I couldn't find a realistic ammonite pendant. Having walked on the beach at Charmouth many times, I decided to start with a real ammonite and cast from that. The resulting piece was very successful and was instantly something that I wore all the time. I enjoyed the process so much that I began to look for other ammonites, shells and natural objects that might work well cast in silver.
What started as a hobby quickly became more than that when people started asking where I had bought my jewellery. Once they found out I had made it, they wanted to know if I sold my work and so that's what I started to do.
You may be aware that silver prices have rocketed over the last year. I have kept my prices at 2023 silver costs but this is simply no longer possible, so i have had to review prices in line with the rise in costs to me. I am still making no more than minimum wage for my work on each piece!
All pieces will be posted registered next day delivery at a cost of £9. I recognise that this is an increase in postage costs, but Royal Mail have put their prices up, which sadly means that I have to do the same. Posting this way insures each item adequately and makes sure that you receive your purchase promptly within 3-5 days of purchase - although I am often able to post quicker than that!
I am now however offering two more postage options: 24 hr tracked and signed for, and 48 tracked and signed for. THESE OPTIONS ONLY INSURE TO A MAXIMUM VALUE OF £75 SO SHOULD ONLY BE SELECTED IF YOUR PURCHASE IS LESS THAN THIS.
AT BUYERS RISK IF PURCHASING A HIGHER VALUE ITEM AND SELECTING EITHER OF THE TWO NEW OPTIONS.
If you would like to discuss collecting from me at a market, then please email me for further details.
