Silver By Charlotte
A collection of beautifully designed and handmade silver jewellery by

About me
'Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart' - Ancient Indian Proverb
The inspiration for my work comes from the environment I am surrounded by; firstly with something that catches my eye, and then when it touches my heart I set about trying to capture that feeling within a piece of timeless silver jewellery. For example after visiting Venice I was inspired to make jewellery with gently hammered light reflecting surfaces that evoke the ripples on the surface of the water in the canals. Another collection has evolved from my close connection to the sea, just a few minutes from my home in South Devon. My love of both sea swimming and dreaming come together as do the hammered silver circles and facetted semi-precious stones to form the Rock Pool Collection - your dreams in colour reflected in pools of glimmering water.
After attending a silversmithing and jewellery making course at West Dean College, I set up my own studio at the foot of the South Downs in West Sussex. In search of a new creative landscape, after 5 years I moved to Devon and have lived and worked here since 1998.
I am always happy to discuss variations in my designs and the use of different stones or beads to suit the customer and therefore create something totally individual.
As everything is handmade (with the exception of some of the earwires, chains and clasps) no two items are identical. I hope you will be happy with, and enjoy wearing your unique piece of lovingly made jewellery.
