'Will this pleasure never end' necklace. I've really enjoyed making this one!
A lovely little saying we picked up from our good friend Robert. Usually dropped in with a 'cheers' after having spent long sunny days walking, swimming, exploring, eating and enjoying a beer together 🌞

Still a favourite design here in the Silver Sapling studio.

Our Men an Tol bracelet, inspired by the historic stones that you can find in Penwith, Cornwall.

We visited this site a number of times whilst living in Kernow. Always a special place up there on the moores amongst the heather.

We've made quite a few for customers over the past few years. Some in silver, some in gold, some a mixture of both, and some with an old family heirloom ring as one of the links. Still going strong!

In love with this stunning Peruvian Opal right now. Very pleased with how the setting came out. A real statement piece.

The hues and colours are like looking down onto a coastal landscape, a rugged coastline meeting the turquoise seas.

We're slowly listing more silver clay pieces on our website, including these three new pieces today.

Including a portrait of a lovely looking fellow, which we couldn't decide was a rabbit or a cat? What do you think?

Also a little Lemon ring. And a larger pendant piece that Ben has made, in the style of some of his artwork.

Link in bio!

We've started using this gorgeously deep yellow glaze on terracotta clay, using the Sgraffito technique to create letters and images.

Inspired by the collection of Sussex Slipware pottery that Ben's dad has collected over the years, most of the pieces date back to Regency and Victorian times.

They are a direct link to the local crafts scene of yesteryear, and often have people's and places names on them. They are beautiful, tangible pieces of local history.

We like to imagine finding one with one of our surnames on, as we both have family lines going back in Sussex hundreds of years.

Just added this sweet pair of Peruvian opal silver studs to the website.

Really beautiful crystal clear details. Like gazing into a lake.

The last pair were sold to a lovely customer of ours up in London. It's always nice to ponder the journey of our pieces once they've left the studio and found a home. Where they'll be worn. Where they'll travel to.
I wonder where this pair will end up!

Three little fishies! All ready to swim away to their new home....
Inspired by our dear friend Robert who only got 3 sardines for his supper when we all went out to a restaurant. He can't quite let it go....😆❤️

Snippets from our little wildlife garden ☀️❤️

It's been a real labour of love but we're so happy & grateful for this little space. We can finally sit outside and enjoy a glass of vino in the sunshine

1. Pretty much finished, we just need to tuck some extra plants into the gaps and make a small wildlife pond

2. It's quite amazing how quickly everything has grown since April plus we have blue tits in the new bird box!

3. The plants are just starting to grow - we added tons of topsoil and manure to the beds that we created as the ground is so chalky in Lewes

4. The most exciting stage - actually going to buy some plants with our friend Fran's expert knowledge & supervision to not buy tooooo many. Oh so tempting!!

5. View from our bedroom window

6. The patio is starting to take shape during a rather wet and muddy February. My first time laying a little patio. I was feeling pretty chuffed even though it's fairly wonky. We found some Victorian bricks for free on the wonder that is Marketplace

7. It was VERY satisfying finally brushing the sand in

8. We foolishly thought there might be one layer of paving slabs to take up but in some places they were actually 4 layers deep. Slabs on slabs.....ahhh it was a nightmare. Thankfully we had a hammer drill and people wanted to take them away for free and reuse them. Yay!

9. When we moved in around 15 months ago the entire area was paved.

A recent commission for the loveliest of customers!

The most beautiful Peruvian Opal in a silver setting with handmade chain. Reminiscent of the stunning turquoise colours of the sea on Scilly ❤️☀️

We'll hopefully make another to add to our website soon.

Wondering which other plants we could make. Any suggestions?....

Time to share with you what we've been getting up in the studio recently.

It's been a long journey in the making to get to this point. And now we're ready to show you our new collection of hand painted clay and silver pendants and rings.

Rolled out by hand, painted, glazed and fired. Then set in a silver bezel.

So many ideas have been flowing, and this is the first taste of what's to come.

We've listed an initial small batch on our website, so feel free to have a peek!

Any ideas from Insta land on what else you might like to see?... X

Something has been simmering in the background at the Silver Sapling studio for a while.

We have been quietly developing hand painted clay cabochons, and setting them in silver bezel pendants and rings. It's been quite a journey, learning and teaching ourselves the art of hand painting and etching on various clays and applying glazes.

This little guy is a teaser of what we'll have to share in the coming weeks. Hoping to be organised enough to get a few pieces on the website too!

Thanks for stopping by lovelies!

Including these two large silver and opal set statement rings. Really love the way these larger pieces have turned out, like mini wearable land or sea scapes on your fingers.

A beautiful day for a beautiful ramble across the beautiful countryside. In part for Ben's birthday, but really just an excuse for a walk and drinkies with friends.

Feeling blessed to have the South Downs on our doorstep, not to mention the outstanding drinking holes to quench our thirst along the way.

Special mention to @catherine_gregsonbourke
For letting me use a few of her photos!

Why hello Insta peeps.

We've been squirreling away, getting some new pieces together for some galleries in Kernow. Lots of opal setting going on. Plus exciting new explorations with brass and silver combinations.

It's nice when you get into the groove of making in the Spring, after the Winter lull post New Year. Lots more on its way. And we promise to get some new pieces on the website asap! Watch this space.

Thank you so much for all of my kind birthday wishes.

I had a super lovely day. We had a sunny country walk to Charleston, some pub grub and delicious beers - perfect!

I've wanted to visit Charleston for a really long time. It's such a beautiful, inspirational place. So much art and ceramics adorning every nook and cranny.

The tulips were out in full bloom, and the walled garden was dreamy. I could have sat there all day.
