Nature inspired handmade jewellery & silverware
I'm Louise Mary, a contemporary artist silversmith and jeweller, author and jewellery tutor based in Swadlincote, South Derbyshire. I love creating stylish, handmade jewellery and silverware designs, inspired by nature. I often work to commission, creating one-off designs for clients, such as bespoke engagement rings, wedding rings and eternity rings, so please do contact me to discuss your ideas. I also offer jewellery making workshops from my studio, including my award winning ‘make your own wedding ring’ course.

Make your own silver jewellery
I will introduce you to traditional silversmithing techniques, from which you can experiment and develop a design for your own unique piece of silver jewellery. By the end of the day, you will have completed a piece of silver jewellery to take away with you.

Jewellery and silverware commissions
I often work to commission for clients who like the overall style of my work and would like a bespoke piece created.
Bespoke jewellery and silverware
I have applied my style to create designs which have included a silver marmalade spoon, fold formed napkin rings featuring a family crest, engagement rings and wedding rings incorporating gemstones from family heirlooms, and remodelled gold jewellery. I love to create these special one-off pieces, and enjoy hearing the stories behind them. Find out more about commissions here.
