About Thornley Silver

Thornley Silver

Traditionally hand crafted from sterling silver, our range of contemporary jewellery offers something for everyone.

Emma Picton is the designer maker behind Thornley Silver. Her influences are many and varied with ideas often coming from the natural environment and used to create a range of contemporary jewellery pieces.

Using a variety of traditional silversmithing techniques, all of her jewellery is hand crafted from 925 Sterling Silver, often incorporating textures and semi precious gemstones to create a unique and individual range of products.

MEET THE MAKER
Making, designing and creating has always been a passion of mine. My creative career began as a glass designer / maker after completing my degree in glass and ceramics at the University of Sunderland. After learning and practicing silversmithing as a hobby for several years I decided to turn it into a business and in 2018, Thornley Silver was born.

All of my jewellery is made using traditional silversmithing techniques – hammers, blow torches, saws and pliers are the types of tools I use regularly in the workshop.

Each piece is handmade entirely from scratch from 925 sterling silver, with no components (other than chains and earring scrolls) being bought in ready made. Where required, my work is hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office.

Much of my work includes semi precious gemstones, I’m something of a magpie and can’t resist the stunning rainbow of colours available.
