I’m increasingly realising that the garden and the things that grow in it are an essential part of the jewellery that I make. I stand washing up at the sink and can see clumps of forget-me-nots, cowslips, primulas, bluebells, miniature narcissus and pulmonaria. They’re like tiny pastel fireworks. The urge to mimic their shapes in silver is very strong.
All these new pieces are in my etsy shop and I’ll be adding more in the coming weeks. The necklaces below are also made from tiny found objects, each of which has a history of its own. They are waiting in the wings for a lull between commissions before they’re popped on the shelves.
In the meantime I am happy to take orders on the knitting necklace.
In other news:
- There is still space on my silver clay workshop on Saturday 5th May. We will be making SPring-inspired fine silver jewellery. Click here to see.
- There is a knitting design competition based on The Killing running at the moment. It’s rather a tight deadline but the winning jumper may end up on the show.

Hi Emma – they are all gorgeous and beautiful and 'wow'
We have masses of bluebells in the garden at the moment and I'm really itching to get my notepad out, but with all this rain it's impossible venturing two feet out the back door.
Have a lovely day

It's fascinating to see your work change as you incorporate the enamels – another string to the bow is always inspiring for people who make things!

They are all beautiful and finely executed Emma but my favourite has to be the little forget-me-not piece.
So good to hear things are going so well for you. Are you having an Open Studio this summer?

Dear Emma,
You are speaking my language: garden inspiration is truly the best in my opinion. Each of your creations is exquisite.
I cannot wait to give Héloïse's bell necklace to her on her birthday in two days time.
Warm hugs,
Stephanie
