What is Fine Silver Clay?
Every piece of jewellery I create begins as recycled fine silver clay and is handcrafted in my Leicestershire studio.
Despite its name, silver clay isn't clay at all. It's made from tiny particles of reclaimed silver, mixed with water and a natural binder to create a soft, workable material that can be sculpted, textured and shaped by hand.
Once each design has dried and been carefully refined, it's fired at a high temperature. During firing, the binder burns away, leaving behind solid 99.9% fine silver—also known as pure silver.
Unlike sterling silver, which contains 92.5% silver, fine silver contains 99.9% silver, giving it a beautiful soft glow and making it naturally resistant to tarnishing.
Because every piece is individually handcrafted rather than cast or mass-produced, no two designs are ever exactly the same. Tiny variations are part of their charm and make each piece truly unique.
Many of my designs are inspired by nature—leaves, flowers, shells and treasures collected along Britain's coastline—as well as the memories, people and pets that hold a special place in our hearts.
Every order is carefully finished, polished and beautifully packaged, ready to treasure or give as a meaningful gift.
