About My Craft

Hi. Thank you for visiting my website.

My name is Jackie. I make jewellery from seaglass and seapottery, sourced from my local beaches here in the Highlands of Scotland.

I wrap and weave these pieces with either sterling silver wire or copper wire to make unique and bespoke items. I love the soft colours of the seaglass; how the constant washing of the waves over time has smoothed and frosted them into colourful gems.

Whether made from seaglass or seapottery, my pieces were once part of another functional or decorative object. In this way I would love to think that the wearer of my jewellery is owning and reviving a small part of Highland history.

About Me

Beginnings

I started experimenting with wire after I found some beautiful seaglass on my local beach. I wanted to transform it into items which enhanced its own special uniqueness and I thought that jewellery was an ideal way of doing just that.

My first items were a bit raw but I persevered and gradually incorporated wire weaving into my work. I am building on this and I am currently trying out new techniques and styles.

I use 925 sterling silver wire for my silver pieces. All my findings in these, such as the chains and ear loops are sterling silver, too. I have recently incorporated copper pieces into my collection as some colours of glass are complimented better using this medium. Additionally, I can patina (darken) the copper. This provides for more styling choices.

Each of my pieces are unique due to the diverse shapes of the glass or pottery shard which, therefore, always dictates the style and design.

I hope you enjoy my pieces as much as I have enjoyed making them.

Jackie.
