Handcrafted Silver Jewellery from Our Chapel Bench

Welcome to our gallery of handcrafted silver jewellery. Every piece you see here is born directly from the jeweller’s bench in our converted chapel workshop, where traditional metalwork meets imaginative design. We don’t just shape metal; we forge wearable narratives. By combining patience, dedication, and a love for the unpredictable nature of fire and silver, we transform raw materials into distinct, textured pieces designed to be held, worn, and loved.

The Art Behind the Craft

We believe that the journey an object takes during its creation gives it soul. Mary works entirely by intuition, guiding the metal through various experimental and traditional processes to achieve organic, striking forms. If you are curious about the technical magic that happens in the workshop, we invite you to explore some of our absolute favourite silversmithing techniques:

• The Texture of Reticulation: Discover how we use a precise torch flame to heat the silver repeatedly, drawing the fine silver to the surface to create dramatic, wrinkled, and highly organic textures that catch the light like a rugged landscape.
• The Magic of Water Casting: Read about the chaotic beauty of pouring molten silver directly into water, where instant cooling forces the liquid metal into fluid, unpredictable, and entirely abstract freeform shapes.
• Texture Casting with Culinary Quirks: Step inside our more experimental process, where we pour molten silver over surprising everyday textures like chickpeas and spaghetti to create bold, tactile surfaces that completely defy expectations.

A Mark of Authenticity

Because we value quality and heritage, our work is officially hallmarked to certify its purity. Each eligible piece is sent to the historic Birmingham Assay Office, where it is tested and stamped with our unique maker’s mark alongside the official British hallmarks. This time-honored process ensures that your piece isn’t just an artisan treasure, but a certified, lasting investment in genuine sterling silver.

Inside the Gallery

Below, you will find our current collection of wearable art. Rather than just offering a passing glance, each image in our gallery opens up into a dedicated, detailed page. There, you can dive deep into the specific story of the piece depicted, featuring close-up photographs, the inspiration behind the design, and a step-by-step description of the exact methods we used to make it.

How to Own a Piece of Our Story

You might notice that our website doesn’t feature a conventional shopping cart. We love the connection of selling our work face-to-face at local craft fairs and agricultural shows. Because every single piece we create is a completely unique fusion of utility and art, managing a live online inventory carries the very real risk of selling the exact same item twice!

Instead, we prefer a more personal approach. We warmly welcome enquiries from our visitors. If a specific piece in the gallery speaks to you, simply get in touch. If we still have it in stock, we will be absolutely delighted to arrange secure shipping for you. However, if that particular treasure has already found a home, we are very happy to open a conversation about creating a similar, custom piece tailored just for you.
