I design and handcraft jewellery from my small garden workshop in South Yorkshire.

Hi, my name is John and I started off making wood earrings in 2017. In 2018 I started crafting sterling silver items, some of which are fused with copper to produce stunning finishes.

In April 2019 I decided to start making jewellery from sea glass after visiting Seaham in Durham.
Seaham sea glass comes from the spoilage glass which was dumped at sea by the old Londonderry Bottleworks factory which operated from the 1850’s to 1921 when it closed. Over 20,000 hand blown bottles were produced each day in its heyday. This gives the glass a minimum age of almost 100 years and a possible 169 years of age. I find it fascinating that it has been washing up on the shore twice a day for all that time.

Each item I make is handcrafted by myself, so although some designs may be repeated, no two items are ever the same. I use traditional time served methods, so rest assured that you are purchasing a genuine, original handcrafted item. Each piece I make is measured, cut, sawn, filed, soldered, textured and polished by me.

I like to think my designs are fresh and different with many items having their own little bit of background history.

Thank-you for visiting my store and I hope you find that perfect piece you are looking for.
