“I absolutely loved the extra touches you put in for my 50th birthday prezzies … the lavender smelled beautiful when I opened. Every single time I wear your jewellery someone comments .. had your gorgeous thistle ring on today and someone commented in restaurant. I always recommend your business”
E. Mosher
“Working with Elizabeth and Scarlett to develop a custom-designed ring was a pleasure and delight. They created a very special ring for us, reflecting our Scottish and New Zealand roots, incorporating elements from our shared love of the sea shore for our wedding anniversary within a tight time-frame. Communications were excellent and the end product was very unique and amazing. I'd highly recommend them to others.”
G. Benton

Ice Bangle Taking pre-orders to make a batch of these delicate wee beauties for Christmas. Have a couple made and ready to go. This features a cushion cut gorgeous rainbow moonstone, which reminds me of the icy iridescent crust that forms on the surface of virgin snow on a winters night. It also has a hand stamped Boho Silver wave pebble - a perfect stacking bangle for those that like to jangle . These are at a special pre-🎄 price £48, so pre-order and grab a bargain!

Excited to say that our most recent collection is in the capable hands of @rinna_photography , with @attackkats the hardy model who frolics in the sea and leaps around the sand on a chilly Highland beach! These are some pics from the last photoshoot, and we are more than a little excited to see what they do for the Storm Collection. What is lovely is that I can talk about my ‘feels’ around a collection, and perhaps do a mood board on Pinterest, and they both just ‘get it’. This one will capture that storm at sea vibe. Squuuuueeeee! It’s coming, soon, with the collection hopefully launching end of the month (it still needs hallmarking go might be a slight delay). #beachphotoshoot #productphotoshoot #professionalphotoshoot #jewelleryphotographyButton -

Storm Cloud Earrings These gorgeous earrings received a very positive response, so here is a pic of one worn so you can better see the scale. I have four pairs left that I can send out this week (£42 plus postage), but you can pre-order if you’d like to get some in time for 🎄. This cut of kyanite is hard to get, but I have ordered and should get a few more pieces by the end of November, and I can make them up then. Who wants a pair 🖐️? First come, first served for the 4 in stock - DM as not on website yet. If you want to pre-order for 🎄 DM with your details & postal address so we have a note ✨✨✨ #handmadeearrings #crystalearrings #healingjewelleryButton -

The colour of storm clouds. I’m making a few pairs of these Kyanite earrings, and I’ve got to say I just loveeeee them. I’ve kept them a wearable length for most folk, with the faceted stone to add a bit of sparkle. The square cut gives them a contemporary edge I think, and is offset by the swirling cloud of silver above. But that colour 🙌. It’s a kind of translucent blue teal, with dark flecks of imperfections through the stone. #tealover #teal #kyanitejewelry #kyanite #healingcrystal #stormwitch #uniqueearrings #tealearrings #jewellerylovers #trendingjewellery #naturejewellery #seajewelry #jewellerydesign #scottishjewellery #scottishcraft #scottishart #stormjewellery #handmadejewellery #handcraftedjewelry #britishcraft #bohoearrings #earringstyle #britishcraft #britishcrafters #coastalstyle #coastaljewelry #seaglassartistButton -

On my ‘to do’ list today. I love the simple Moon & Mermaid Tears necklace (a best seller), but soldering the little jump ring through the sea glass is tricksy, with some cracking with the heat if you’re not super careful 🤦♀️, so I avoid doing. But I’m resolved to get it done; I have, my moons, and the drilled glass, and it’s time to replenish the stock!! Wish me luck! I’m also making more of the dainty Camilla pearl pendant and the Venus earrings. So, a busy start. The necklaces are excellent gifting options, and are particularly popular with twenty-somethings. So, with an eye to the big C, there’s work to be done! #mermaidtears #mermaidtearsjewelry #trendingjewelleryButton -

A Drop fell on the Apple Tree – Another – on the Roof – A Half a Dozen kissed the Eaves – And made the Gables laugh – A few went out to help the Brook, That went to help the Sea – Myself Conjectured were they Pearls – What Necklaces could be …Emily Dickinson On the bench today I have been enjoying the shimmering raindrops of gemstones, that I’m making into a cascade of rainy storm droplets as part of the upcoming Storm Collection (release should be end of October). The colour of kyanite, for me, is so evocative of coastal storm colours. Expect to see more 👀. Kyanite has many healing properties according to Charms of Light - Kyanite has a calming effect on the whole being, bringing tranquility. It encourages psychic abilities and communication on all levels. It drives away anger, frustration, confusion and stress and helps to provide a capacity for linear and logical thought. Kyanite provides a stimulating energy, encouraging perseverance in and support of activities and situations which would normally reduce one’s strength. #emilydickinson #raindrops #rain #raindropsonleaves #stormchasing #kyanite #kyanitejewelry #uniquejewelry #handmadejewellery #handmadeuk #handmadescotland #cascadefalls #natureinspiredjewelry #scottishjewellery #scottishsilverjewellery #wip #workinprogress #makingjewellery #healingjewellery #chakrajewellery #crystalearrings #seawitch #stormwitch #crafters #jewelleryartist #followmyjourney #scottishgifts #handmadechristmasButton -

Keeping Things Simple Not all our jewellery designs are big statement pieces, and know we always have a selection of more simple silver pieces in there. Sometimes they’re not so eyecatching to photograph and post, so we kinda forget about them. But we do have little circle necklaces, hoops and all sorts! If we don’t, we can easily make for you. As per a recent conversation with you lovely folk, I’m aiming to work on adding to the simpler designs over the next wee while. So, expect some interesting new silver earrings and whatever I come up with! In the meantime, here are a few of our nice silver pieces that haven’t got too much going on! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ #simplesilver #bohosilverjewelry #moonnecklace #hoopearrings #classicjewellery #cleanlines #layeringjewellery #trendingButton -

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Jewellery with meaning. This piece was commissioned by a really lovely customer after seeing a similar design we had already sold. This lady has been on a journey and wanted a similar design, but integrating a personal addition that has special significance to her. This gorgeous teal sea glass jewellery is more than a necklace; it is a talisman of hope & power. It’s off for hallmarking currently, but we are incredibly happy to have been able to make something with special meaning. ✨✨✨ We don’t take on too many commissions, but we do take on a few that fit. If there’s something special you are thinking about, do get in touch and we can chat. Here’s to those on a journey ✨✨✨ #jewellerywithmeaning #bespokejewellery #seaglassnecklaceButton -

Arisaig Limpet with a twinkling London blue topaz. *Sold, but another has been made if you’re quick!* This limpet shell was found on an Arisaig beach and cast in Sterling silver. Life before being forever captured in silver involved living on bare rocks for up to 16 years. He would have moved around during the first few years of life, then settled in one home for the remainder of his life. So he’s a truly local Highland limpet! So now you know a little more about limpets 🙌😂 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 #shellnecklace #shelljewellery #arisaigButton -

Jewellery Soldering Station This is our soldering ‘set up’. It’s a standing station, and definitely isn’t ‘Insta pretty’ but is a practical part of our workspace. So, what’s there? ⭐️Surfaces such as charcoal or ceramic reflect or absorb heat depending on your soldering needs ⭐️fire bricks make a little mini oven when using heat, and are way safer ⭐️ soldering uses a low melting point metal alloy (solder) which is melted and applied to the metal parts to be joined and this bonds to the metal parts and forms a connection when the solder solidifies. ⭐️ the little coins I use as ‘heat sinks’ on thinner parts of the metal, this stops them melting as I get the rest of the piece up to soldering temperature. ⭐️ solder picks are titanium tipped and can pick up the solder and move it around Any questions ask away below in comments ⬇️ #wip #workinprogress #solderingjewelry #solderingtips #solderingstation #jewellerymaking #jewellerymakingworkshop #jewellerybench #jewellerytips #jewelrymakingtipoftheday #jewelrygram #metalsmithsociety #metalsmithing #ladysmiths #makingjewellery #jewelrytutorial #solderingjewelry #jewelrymakers #jewelrydesigner #scottishjewellery #silversmithing #silversoldering #onthebench #crafternoon #silversmithtools #silversmithingandjewellery #askmeaquestion #thButton -

The Results Are In *fanfare*… 🎶 Fav pressie purchase - earrings Gifting price point £35 seems to be the sweet spot Okay, I will work on making sure we cover these things as we head towards 🎄. I’ve now put an ‘under £50’ section on the website shop to make it easier to see what we have that might be suitable for gifting. Check it out and let me know if that’s helpful. I’ve also gone through some jewellery stock and offered a few sale prices on the website for the hell of it. This beauty, I’m sorry, won’t be sitting in the under £50 category 🤦♀️🤣. The Selkie Ocean bracelet is an organic lovely, with every link handmade and unique, with turquoise sea glass encased in coral and a wonderfully tactile pebble. Obviously you can spend way more when you are gifting to yourself 🙌✨✨🥰- it comes under the heading ‘self care’! #selkie #celticmythology #seaglassbraceletButton -

THE LITTLE THINGS Or, should I say, the less expensive things! I don’t want to mention the 🎄 word, but for us we need to be planning and sorting now. And it benefits you to spread your costs (don’t panic buy from crappy big corporations with days to go). So I’m thinking about the gifting side of things, with thoughts of ensuring we have some smaller items in the £20-£40 range? Is that about right? So, I was thinking, if you want to plan some gifts of this sort with me now… I can get them made for you and you’re super organised and can spread payments. For example, the sort of things you might fancy; plain silver half hoop earrings, hoop earrings with cowrie shells, li’l pearl necklaces, Loch Lomond pebble necklaces or bangles, moon & mermaid tear necklaces. We can even make little bracelets or necklaces for little princesses. This is perfect sustainable gifting, and how lovely to receive something handmade, just for you?! If you DM to do this in the next week, I’ll take 10% off any order of two or more items. I know it feels early to mention, but for the organised out there, you might want to chat? These little copper balls are upcycled from a vintage piece of jewellery I had, and have been made into cute little dangling earrings. Beautiful rich autumn 🍂 colours. They’re on sterling silver hoops. I’m away to upload them to website. What price would be right for gifting? What item are you most likely to gift (necklace/bracelet/bangle/earrings). I’ll pop a poll in stories! Thanks E x #notchristmasyet #earlygift #copperearringsButton -

Along the sea-wall, a steady sloshing of the swell, The waves not yet high, but even, Coming closer and closer upon each other; A fine fume of rain driving in from the sea, Riddling the sand, like a wide spray of buckshot, The wind from the sea and the wind from the mountain contending, Flicking the foam from the whitecaps straight upward into the darkness... ~ Theodore Roethke 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 #stormchasing #wip #workinprogressButton -

Scarlett moves to Durham this Saturday 😱! It’s been pedal-to-the-metal in terms of trying to get jewellery made, work on commissions, as well as sort out admin for both the business and Uni. All of this in the midst of mounting anxiety and mounting piles of homewares and boxes all over the house 🤦♀️. While I don’t like Amazon, they are useful : kettle ☑️ toaster ☑️ under bed storage ☑️ miscellaneous £££ of ‘stuff’ ☑️. Suffice to say, it’s a bit of a stressy week at Boho HQ, but once the move is done, I’m sure nerves will subside and it will be wonderful for Scarlett ✨✨. Scarlett will still very much be dipping in and out creatively at Boho as her diary allows - she has a Masters degree to fund after all 🙌. She’s made some fabulous designs for the Storm collection. So, apologies if you’re waiting on a commission or we’ve been late in replying etc - bear with us, we will get through it all. In the meantime, forgive our muddling through! We selected these pictures of a Godless Boho Necklace…. only to realise we’ve never actually uploaded it to the website (doing that straight after, promise 🤦♀️🤣). Onwards! #smallbusinessproblems #godless #organisedchaosButton -

STORM LOVERS This post is for you if you love our more organic, wild and unique designs. Traditionally a jewellery ‘collection’ has a central design feature throughout. As usual, we don’t follow the herd and instead have the ubiquitous staple of the ocean and seascape as a central tenant to our designs, but indulge a feeling, or moment of beauty, when we design a collection. On this occasion it is the storm at sea. The elements rolling in from the sea, how the colours darken and shift with the storm, the turbulent seas and the absolute surrender to the power of the ocean. What to expect? Bold & moody statement pieces that feature storm whipped barnacles, labradorite, kyanite, moonstone and sea glass. We think you will *love* this small collection. We have a photoshoot in the pipeline, with a planned online drop mid October. If you think you might want to treat yourself (or drop a hint 🎄 👀), pop a note in the diary. We will drop the odd little teaser in advance, so here is one statement storm-worthy sea glass beauty that will be in the collection. The inspiration: the photo taken at Arisaig as one such storm rolls in. We swam in the storm and it was magical. #jewellerycollection #scottishjewellery #seaglassjewelryButton -

Love me a jellyfish! 🪼 Less so when I’m swimming like a selkie around Arisaig and feel the delicate brush of my loose hair strands across my face and neck. As I try to sweep them away with my hand I discover these are in fact the long trailing tentacles of a Lion’s Mane jellyfish. Also known as ‘hair jellyfish’. I have a few other names I made up on the spot! Boy did it sting. Lasted a good 36hrs. It’s how I imagine a Botox treatment might feel 🤣. I was all stinging and tight. But this was a free treatment courtesy of Mother Nature. Apparently pee is supposed to relieve the pain, but I didn’t go down that route 🤦♀️🤣. Some remedies are best left untried! The @mcs_uk are currently running a survey, so if you spot a jellyfish, please go check out the survey on their website. I’ll be reporting my experience to them and the coastal police 😆. Let me entice you with our non-stinging jellyfish earrings, with little green sea glass bubbles. Lovely little critters for your lobes. Get them on the website- I’ll pop a link in stories 💚 🌊🪼🌊🪼🌊🪼🌊🪼 #jellyfishart #jellyfishjewelry #jellyfishearrings #seaglassearringsButton -

WHO ARE WE? With a wee surge in new followers we thought it’s time to reintroduce ourselves. We are Elizabeth & Scarlett - a mother and daughter duo who love creating the jewellery you see here. We are based near Loch Lomond in Scotland, and take our van ‘Lil’ to search the Scottish coastline for sea glass to incorporate into our designs. We love the sea, the elements, the rugged seascape and folklore tales of Scotland. These aspects of nature and storytelling are woven into our organic designs. ✨✨Back in 2017 I was an editor and copywriter, and Scarlett was emerging from school, somewhat burnt out and mentally struggling. A potentially life threatening mental illness changed everything. After a move to Uni in Aberdeen, which quickly became untenable, walking on the beach there and collecting sea glass became our way to calm a troubled brain and was the best therapy available to us. With jars full of sea glass, and me having a distant memory of having done some basic silversmithing classes at night school some 25 years before, the first item of sea glass jewellery was made in 2018. As Scarlett’s recovery progressed, it did so hand-in-hand with the micro business we started together - Boho Silver. The jewellery making has been a focus, a creative outlet and a healing journey for us both as individuals, and for our relationship (which had suffered greatly). We continue to progress and develop, and I think our designs have evolved with our healing. We appreciate just how important this wee business is and has been. So, for everyone who supports us with likes, comments, shares or purchases, we thank you sincerely. It means so much. Please see stories for a few more details about us as ‘people’. We are outdoorsy, runners, tend to pick up stray animals and I like wine way too much. I used to smoke, I got my first tattoo at 57 and I talk too much. Scarlett is very private, is our reluctant model and the bravest and most beautiful soul I’ve ever had the privilege to know. I’m very proud of her. Want to ask us something? Shoot away…! #seaglassartist #creativetherapy #motherdaughterbondButton -

Torn from my clutches by a customer who loves the ring as much as I do! This baby fits my finger and everything, but we’d be even poorer than we are if we kept all the pieces we love. I’m delighted she’s found a perfect new owner. This organic barnacle and tideline inspired ring was made using an ancient Japanese lost wax technique called Mitsuro hikime (details on the process in yesterdays post). Making other jewellery today took a back seat this afternoon as I battled the password conundrum of a replacement iPhone. I set it up automatically from my iPad but turns out that is linked to a different one of my emails and I cannot access the passwords stored on the original phone. The result is I can’t access iCloud etc to download Apps. I am currently staring at a black screen that keeps saying ‘hola’ in pretty script and in 24 different languages. I think there’s going to be a lot of password guessing and resetting on the cards tonight 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤣. #mitsurohikime #mitsuro #mitsurowax #mitsurojewelryButton -

EXPLORING NEW CREATIVE DESIGNS This is when we are at our best, experimenting and getting lost in the process of creating freely. On the bench here we have a ring made using a Japanese lost wax technique that has existed for 1300 years, called Mitsuro Hikime. Mitsu (honey), ro (wax), hiki (drawing), me (texture). The wax blend is a combination of pine resin and beeswax. This technique has allowed us to infuse the ring with the organic texture and forms that are a part of a seascape; there is a wonderful depth and movement to the piece. And of course, it is a one-of-a-kind design. This is my first piece, and I love working with the medium. This ring still needs some finishing off and polishing, but would love to know if the organic ‘feel’ resonates with you? *RESERVED* #mitsuro #mitsurohikime #mitsurowax #taffywax #organicjewelry #oceanjewelry #oceanjewellery #seajewelry #oneofakindjewellery #silverrings #uniquering #organicring #silversmithingandjewellery #firstattemptsuccess #ladysmith #jewelerygram #jewelerygram #ringoftheday #japanesejewelry #蜜蝋引き目 #seainspired #coastalstyle #coastaljewelry #bythesea #seascape #oceanartist #lovetheseaButton -

The shoreline presents a rich source of inspiration, from basalt rock formations, pebbles worked smooth by the sea and the diversity of shape, colour and texture that are integral to the shells and uninhabited homes of sea creatures. We often refer to these textures snd try to j corporate them into our jewellery work. As an aside..Barnacles start cute, but notice how elongated they become as they grow. To be fair, holes like that give me the heebees- there’s a name for it .. TRYPOPHOBIA where clusters of holes and bumps can bother you. Doesn’t bother me with the little ones, but the big long barnacles are a no go! 🐚 🌊 🐚 🌊 🐚 🌊 #seacreatures #barnacles #blueshellmussels #shells🐚 #mussels #barnacle #beachcombingfinds #beachcombing #trypophobia #natureinspiredjewelry #jewelleryinspiration #seatheme #coastalliving #flatlay #beachfinds #beachshells #seaglassfinds #onthebeach #whatifound #beachlover #scottishbeaches #scottishbeachfinds #bythesea #marineanimals #beachpebbles #beachcomberButton -

How many of us struggle with not feeling we are good enough; have that real fear of making mistakes, being judged and found to be lacking? It can really stop us from embracing new opportunities, and hamper our progress in living life to its full potential. It’s so hard, but perfectionism needs to be tempered with acceptance of our human vulnerability. Boho Silver would never have come into being if we hadn’t tried, even though it was terrifying to launch as ‘untrained’ cowboys lol 🤠 . The imposter syndrome creeps in, trust us, but we can accept that our initial jewellery work was more basic and mistakes were made 👀, but by allowing those mistakes, we have become far more creative and technically proficient. Do we make mistakes still ? All the time! But we find ways to solve the problem. Or, we have to chuck it in the silver recycling and accept it was bloody awful and beyond resurrection 🤣. If you’ve an idea you want to pursue, a journey to take or big life decisions that need taken, never allow the fear of failure leave you stuck, where you stop progressing with your life. Accept it will never be perfect, but who knows where it might lead you? #atelophobia #perfectionism #perfectionist #perfectionismrecovery #perfectionisme #impostersyndrome #wordoftheday #tryingnewthings #lettinggo #creativeblock #wordsmith #writersden #creativecommunity #newwords #inspirationdaily #selfsabotage #mistakesarelessons #progressoverperfection #progressoverperfect #campfirestories #campfires #scottishbeaches #bethechangeyouwanttosee #campingvibes #lifetips #selfhelp #crafternoon #crafters #artistsoninstagramButton -

Are you excited for the blue super moon tonight? I’ve been feeling the powerful pull of her energy 🌙🌕✨. A blue supermoon combines a supermoon with a blue moon. This occurs when a full moon is at its nearest point to Earth, meaning that the moon appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than at its furthest point. A blue moon, however, is when there are two full moons within a single calendar month. Tonight’s moon is August’s second supermoon (after the one on August 1 -my Birthday), meaning it is a blue supermoon. Watch her rise tonight if the clouds part for long enough. She’s powerful. The next opportunity will be 2037! Blue topaz is said to help with healing, recharging, abundance and confidence. The power is said to wax and wane with the moon. This Arisaig Limpet with her blue topaz will be under the full moon tonight recharging (along with the moonstones and kyanite for the upcoming collection). She is available and up on the website. #shellnecklace #shelljewelry #limpet #bluetopazjewelryButton -

Alone time is self care. Every so often I have to run away to the wilds and reset. It’s important for my mental health. Perhaps others can relate: Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence. Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. – Maya Angelou Abyssal Pendant represents the lonely recesses of the ocean floor, far beyond that which we know. 🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊Button -

Scarlett starts a new chapter in Durham come 23rd September, where she will be studying for her Masters in English Literary Studies. Exciting times, with a new place to explore and friendships to be made. I’m so very happy she’s finding her wings 🩵. She’s managed to find a little studio/room within a student village, so hopefully she meets some nice folk. And they have a surf club which she’s keen to try. It does mean we are super busy right now, trying to get a collection together before she goes! But ultimately we can only do what we can, so whatever we manage in the time we have, that will be ‘the collection’ 🤦♀️🤣! We’ve also been trying to top up depleted stock, and realise we’ve been a bit remiss with earrings! We think you’ll love these ‘Breaker’ sea glass half hoops - we have one pair in white, the other in sea foam. They’re lovely, if we do say so ourselves 🙌☺️. #seaglassearrings #seaglassjewellery #seaglassjewelryButton -

All right all you folk with filthy minds, I’m thinking ‘potatoes’ weren’t on your list 🤦♀️🤣! We, on the other hand, adore a humble potato while we work. It’s an inexpensive & eco friendly way to create a ‘heat sink’ when working with metal of different densities. It prevents the thinner, more fragile parts melting when you need to raise the temperature of the denser metal when soldering. Also great for holding prongs in position or adding design elements to the piece. So, yes, we do love a HOT 🔥 potato. The whole house smells of baked tatties mind you. (👀 note that a sneak peek has been given of a ring from our upcoming collection…shhhh!) #workinprogress #behindthescenes #wip #jewelrytutorial #ecojewelry #ecojewellery #sustainablejewelry #sustainablejewellery #ladysmith #onthebench #craftersgonnacraft #craftinspiration #jewellerymaking #jewellerymakingtips #metalsmithingjewelry #hotpotato #metalsmithsociety #jewellerydesign #silversmithcommunity #uniquerings #theprocess #solderingjewelry #jewellerytips #craftersofinstagram #followmyprogress #crafter #crafternoon #prongsetting #mycraft #jewellerymakingworkshopButton -

Keeping it boho, beachy & simple we have now made some cowrie shells hanging on endless recycled sterling silver hoops. These are great to wear, and make a cool and alternative gift idea (🎄 just saying 👀). Cowries have been valued in many ancient cultures as currency, adornment and representative of the power and strength of the female. Not in small part due to the shell resembling a lady’s cookie 😂, I’m sure. If you ignore that last observation, they do look very pretty when worn 🐚🌊🐚🌊🐚🌊🐚 #cowrieshelljewelry #cowrieshellearrings #cowrieshellsButton -

A big moment this week as we finally got to visit THE beach for sea glass. It took a lot of time searching, and some cracking and popping of the knees, but glad to report we found some really wonderful pieces! Anyone been before? And did you get any amazing sea glass finds?! #scottishseaglass #seaglasshunter #ukbeaches #seaglassaddict #seaglasscollector #seaglassuk #seaglassing #beachglass #durham #beachglassfinds #seaglassfinds #verredemer #seaglassjewellery #seaglasscraft #vetridimare #seaglasscollection #derstrand #seeglas #beachfinds #beachcombing #driftglass #seaglassjewellery #seaglassjewelry #mermaidtears #blueseaglass #seafoamseaglass #seaglassartist #seaglasshunter #trashtotreasure #sustainablejewellery #seaglassbusinessuk #seaglassbeachButton -

Sea glass hunting can be very hit and miss. Do you have a go-to beach? Is it harder to find sea glass now? Our jewellery may use glass ‘trash’, but trust us when we say it takes a lot of exploration, loads of time and a very keen eye. It’s definitely getting harder to find. And not all sea glass is equal in terms of being able to make jewellery; a lot of sea glass found hasn’t been ‘cooked’ long enough, and is still angular and smooth. Even the nuggets that are rounder and frosted aren’t always of a jewellery quality. Contrary to what you might expect, gemstones would often be cheaper and easier, and are certainly of calibrated shapes and sizes so much easier to work with! But it’s the uniqueness that makes sea glass special. On our most recent foray we did okay, but we couldn’t find many blues at all. We left with the sun splitting the sky, but had to sit in the car waiting for the the heavy downpours to pass (last clip). Want to go search for sea glass? We’ve compiled some of the best places in England in our blog (Scotland, to follow). 🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙 #scottishseaglass #scottishseaglasshunter #seaglassaddict #seaglasscollector #seaglassuk #seaglassing #beachglass #beachglassfinds #seaglassfinds #verredemer #seaglassjewellery #seaglasscraft #vetridimare #seaglasscollection #derstrand #seeglas #beachfinds #beachcombing #driftglass #seaglassjewelry #mermaidtears #blueseaglass #seafoamseaglass #seaglassartist #seaglasshunter #trashtotreasure #seaglassofinstagram #seaglassbeachButton -

Walking on the shore, is it not true we all have some primal urge to take off our shoes, immerse our limbs in the cold of the lapping waves, then scavenge amongst the seaweed and drift?

Is it Autumn? Have I fallen into a deep sleep and skipped a month? I didn’t order this, and I’d like to return it! Seriously, living in the country you really notice the nuances of change, and I can confirm that by the 1st August the rosehips had all formed, the black brambles were appearing and the ferns have started browning. These are very early autumnal changes. Oh, and my horse is shedding like a yeti that rolled in Veet. And, be honest, there have been days you could smell it in the air. I don’t mind autumn….. but just not in early August 😩! So, I’m bringing you some magic….look at that blue sea glass 💙🌊. No filter needed. Fits a bigger paw too, at a size Q/8.5. Let me tempt you to wear the Selkie Secret ring… #seaglassring #blueseaglass #seaglassjewelleryButton -

🌊DRILLING SEA GLASS🌊 Lots of our followers have bowls of sea glass around the house looking pretty. If you are just starting out jewellery making, or want to do something with your sea glass, why not try drilling it so you can thread it to make sun catchers or wind chimes? There are ‘finer points’ that aren’t in the video, but we will pop a link in stories with a link to our ‘how to drill sea glass: a step-by-step guide’ blog post. There is also a blog with a list of sea glass crafting project ideas if you are needing a little inspiration. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 #drillingseaglass #seaglasscrafts #scottishseaglass #scottishseaglasshunter #seaglassuk #seaglassaddict #seaglasscollector #seaglassuk #seaglassing #beachglass #beachglasstiktok #beachglassfinds #seaglassfinds #verredemer #seaglassjewellery #seaglasscraft #vetridimare #seaglasscollection #derstrand #seeglas #beachfinds #beachcombing #driftglass #seaglassjewellery #seaglassjewelry #mermaidtears #blueseaglass #seafoamseaglass #seaglassartist #seaglasshunter #trashtotreasureButton -

*SEA POTTERY LOVE* These two pieces of gorgeous stoneware sea pottery were found a few years back on Highland beaches, and we squirrelled them away in one of the many, many containers secreted around the house. And promptly forgot about them. We’ve rediscovered them and we think the inky abstract design, and the grey against the white make for rather lovely contemporary pendants. They are both beautifully tactile, and the grey has the design on both sides. Attached with a length of grey faux suede cord so you can adjust to any length. We’ve had a busy few days replenishing stock and uploading new things to the website. There are quite a few new pieces up, but keep an eye as we have lots more to upload! #seapottery #seapotteryjewelry #seapotteryartButton -

A behind the scenes look at how we package our jewellery with love, care and thought for the 🌎. Not all pieces are packed the same, and we vary between boxes and reusable hessian or linen bags. But, it’s all in the detail. And we do try, where we can, to walk or run to the Post Office and back.

✨ATTENTION LOCAL MERMAIDS✨ We have had the best times with our jewellery within the @the.beauty.apothecarist mermaid cabinet 🧜🏼♀️ . Boho have enjoyed fun, love and magick with Tara and her gift emporium of loveliness. So much love between us 🧜🏼♀️🌊. Shifts, opportunities and new ideas have arisen for both businesses, so we have decided to swim - like the mermaids we are - in our different directions for now. It’s an exciting time for both businesses to explore new things, but I’ll still often be popping into the shop to see my lovely friend and her fantastic skincare range (also🍷👀). If you haven’t already, do follow on socials, and go check out her fabulous face serums (www.thebeautyapothecarist.com). However, for local folks, you will no longer find our jewellery in the beautiful cabinet if you visit. As both businesses follow their own flow, we look forward to seeing what comes next for Tara, and ourselves ✨. We are still available online, and all else remains the same. 🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🌊🌊🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🌊🌊🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️ #killearn #balfron #westhighlandway #localbusiness #mermaidtears #mermaidlover #wildswimming #seaswimming #mermaidlifeButton -

Sea Grass forms amazing meadows in the ocean. It can absorb x35 more carbon than the Amazonian forest, pumps out litres of fresh oxygen and holds the ocean floor together, dissipating energy from storm surges and thus reducing flooding in coastal areas. But our beautiful underwater meadows are diminishing quickly, but with help from organisations such as rewilding.org ecologists are replanting sea grass ‘fields’ in Scotland, and learning how to best replenish.Sea grass is also good for settling sediment, so if you like to snorkel in pristine, clear water, you want to be sure to plant a few acres of the stuff at your nearest beach! Inspired by swaying sea grass, this soft green sea glass necklace has fronds with jade and peridot. Available and on website. Link in stories. #seagrass #marineconservation #scottishbeachesButton -

Rings are one our fav creative makes, as so much unique character can be woven into the design. Most of our pieces have an organic and elemental vibe, and appeal to those who like a unique piece of jewellery that reflects an aspect of themselves. We only make one piece in a design, and as makers, the headache is sizing ! It’s like Cinderella’s slipper - it needs to fit. Unfortunately the person that loves the design doesn’t always fit the size. Most often there is a serendipitous result, and the right person happens at the right time. But sometimes a ring is still waiting for her wild woman match. It would be good if I could just magic each ring to the correct size 🙌💫💫 Do you see your glass slipper?

A beautiful spot close to where we stay in the Cairngorms. Local folklore tells of fairies living in the fairy hill overlooking the loch, their washing of clothes causing the ethereal colour of the water. However, an illicit whisky still once sat hidden within the hill long ago, and it may be the locals were hoping to disguise the mischievous shenanigans going on. 🧚♀️ 🥃 ✨ #anlochanuaine #cairngormsnationalpark #glenmoreButton -

Loving the fuller-figured mermaid vibe 🧜🏼♀️ 🦭 Has anyone else watched MerPeople on Netflix? It’s an interesting watch. While it might be hard for some to understand the lure of mermaiding, the overarching desire seems to be to feel the freedom the water offers. Particularly with a gorgeous, flowing mermaid tail! The series certainly has a few colourful ‘characters’, but it comes across as a very inclusive community, with colour, gender & size represented. The sweetest moment was to watch the original performance mermaids (now in their 70’s) having a last opportunity to mermaid. The older bodies lost their physical impediments as soon as they entered the water, and had amazing grace and beauty within the weightless environment. It was lovely to watch.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. - Winston Churchill Without the freedom to make mistakes, and learn from them, we cannot move forward. We become scared to try new things for fear of failure. Aiming at perfection is as crippling as it is demoralising. When you try to do things with the aim of absolute success, all joy is lost in the journey, and when inevitably it doesn’t always work out, the gremlins in our head berate us for failure. Do your best, but approach each area of life with an open mind free from the stifling limitations of perfect outcomes. ✨ Here is my most recent imperfection. And it’s still beautiful, if slightly flawed. If you look closely (last pic is best), you might see that one tiny tip from a crown snapped off as I was finishing the ring. Barely noticeable, but not perfection. It is a size P. So, to celebrate the perfectly imperfect, the first person to DM can have the ring at the bargain price of just £50! (postage to be added. PayPal or Bank Transfer). #seaglassring #scottishseaglass #seaglassaddictButton -

Mermaid Life in the Highlands 🏴🏴🏴 True to my word in a recent post about grabbing every opportunity to escape, I saw the weather 🌞, packed the van and headed north on Thursday. Scarlett hastily stuffed everything in a rucksack and drove up at 5am the following morning - she couldn’t resist 😂. We get to call this ‘work’ since we did a bit of mermaiding on pristine beaches adorned in jewellery for photos (we will be posting the results shortly - we are quite pleased with them). Oh, the hardship I tell you🌞🌊🤣! But mainly we swam in the sea, stared out to sea, kayaked, seal & sea otter watched then walked to the pub. Cider & delish Mallaig prawns were enjoyed at the Crofters bar @arisaig_hotel_bunkhouse We’ve returned feeling full to the brim of living our best lives this past few days.It really is about taking the time to escape to new places - even if it’s just a day trip - and making new memories. How did you spend your time in the wonderful sunshine? 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 #mermaid #mermaidlover #mermaidbeachButton -

🌊 Ocean Surf 🌊 As large waves build momentum & power, the wave rises and stretches the water and foam into intricate organic patterns that look like lace. We’ve tried to capture the organic patterns in this gorgeous one-of-a-kind necklace. On this occasion we used Argentium silver. This is a type of sterling silver that has a slightly higher silver content (96%). Usually silver is alloyed with just copper, but this uses germanium which results in a brighter finish that is less likely to tarnish. So, if you were looking for something to remind you of the ocean… and to adorn your neck, this is a great weight and length (18/19”).

🌞These long sunny days make me itch to fill them with activities 🌞 I have ‘the fear’ of the return to long dark nights, knowing the longest day is approaching, and want these days of warmth and birdsong brimming with little outings and adventures. So we’ve both been doing fun things. Scarlett visited Cornwall, then returned to try her hand at scuba diving near Oban. Friends and myself took the train to the remote train station Corrour (the one in Trainspotting) to have a bimble around Loch Ossian and then up a wee munro. Then some more attempts at hill training this week. Issues with my knee have prevented me from doing training for an ultramarathon planned for August, but I’ve discovered running poles which at least allow me to (albeit slowly) get some hill miles in. It’s not looking good to get 42 mile fit in a few weeks to be honest! But, the reality is I’m very fortunate to be able to do what I can do. Sometimes you just have to breathe and accept where you are right now. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ #wildswimminguk #wildswimmingscotland #wildswimming #seaswimming #seaswim #coldwaterswimming #scotland #discoverscotland #visitscotland #scotland_greatshots #scotlandtravel #scotlandlover #scotlandexplore #arisaig #oban #cornwall #scubaphoto #underthesea #underwaterphotography #mermaid #scottishhighlands #scottishscenery #oceanvibes #artforswimmers #seascapeButton -

🌸SEA PINKS🌸 We always look to nature when we design, and today’s earrings were inspired by the crowns of glorious 'sea pinks' or 'sea thrift' that grows in swathes close to, and on rocky outcrops, on beaches in the West Highlands of Scotland in Spring. The bursts of pink upon slender stems are a joy to behold, and always evocative of wonderful beach adventures in the sunshine. 🌸🌞 Handmade, these earrings are specifically inspired by the sea pinks we see at the Rhu peninsula up at Arisaig. Has anyone been lucky enough to see the sea pinks up at Arisaig this year? #arisaig #scottishbeaches #coastalstyleButton -

WANT TO SWIM WITH MERMAIDS? The @1000mermaids project is an EcoArt installation whose goal is to create 1000 mermaid sculptures made from ocean-friendly concrete that will sustain coral reef nurseries. This will help restore existing coral reefs and create new ones. Essential marine ecosystems, coral reefs are often called the "rainforests of the sea" due to the diversity of life they can support. Around 25% of the ocean's fish dependent upon healthy reefs to use as shelter, find food, reproduce, and rear their young amongst the gnarled crannies. However, 75% of the world’s coral reefs are currently threatened, and by 2030 this will be 90%, with the greatest global threat being climate change. With World Ocean Day on Thursday, we wanted to raise awareness of this amazing project. You can read more about them, and find a list of Scottish and UK based marine conservation projects, on our latest blog post. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 Just click ‘blog’ in our bio link! #marineconservation #oceanconservation #coralrestorationButton -

Folklore Thursday Arisaig blushes pink at this time of the year with beautiful sea pinks upon every rocky outcrop. But the hills, glens & shoreline around the area hosts a very different spectral sight from time to time, with a mournful howl heard catching the breeze. The Grey Dog of Meoble, stalks the area, including the Rhu peninsula, lamenting the loss of her master. She is known to appear to members of Clan MacDonald when approaching death. Scarlett did hear a howl when camping in the area, but she was clinging to the hope that it was the local husky 👀! There’s even a delicious local rum made in Arisaig (I can totally vouch for it being delicious 👌🏼) named after the beastie @grey_dog_rum To read the full story of The Grey Dog of Meoble, click the link in bio and select ‘blog’. 📷- sea pink pic with thanks to @hannahketts #folklorethursday #arisaig #roadtotheislesButton -

The Birth of Aphrodite Heck, you know we are partial to a good dollop of folklore to inspire our designs. After a recent trip to Rhodes and visiting the ancient temple of Aphrodite this made an appearance. The goddess of love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion & procreation; in fact, the original wild woman. She was marine birthed from the severed genitals of primordial god Ouranos (careful how you annunciate that 🙈🤣). Our Aphrodite talisman is represented with a small pink nugget of sea glass. She is formed from sea foam and drawn to shore on a clam shell. The necklace has a froth of sea foam bubbles surrounding the sea glass, and further sea foam bubbles at the back, within the clam shell itself. Lots of detailing.

ASHES IN SEA GLASS 💙 We were honoured to be asked to incorporate the ashes of a much loved sister in a nugget of sea glass. She wanted something quite different, a piece of jewellery to treasure that would capture something of her sister’s free spirit and love of the sea. The wide band is textured to be reminiscent of the sand as the tide recedes. Thank you for trusting us with your sister. While working with the ashes, I experienced a strong perfume around me. I described it as quite floral, but with a woody/tobacco undertone and some sort of rose, but not like traditional rose scents. Apparently it described exactly the scent her sister wore. We take that as a sign she approves ✨✨✨✨✨💙 #ashesjewellery #seaglassmemorialjewellery #asheskeepsake #memorialjewelry #memorialjewellery #seaglassofinstagram #seaglassring #ashesring #ashesoflove #ashesintoglass #bereavement #remembrancejewellery #gonebutnotforgotten #spirits #soulsisters #griefjourney #lossofalovedone #griefandloss #griefislove #saltysoul #inmemory #cremationjewelry #cremationjewellery #seaglasscremationjewellery #captured_treasures #madeofocean #madeoflove #sisterlove #scottishseaglass #seaglassaddictButton -

Storm Sea Witch Pendant Sea witches can tie knots in rope to grant safe passage to those they favour. Harnessing the power with the knotted rope, they work with the wind, moon and the elements; embracing the chaos of nature. The binding knots give safe passage. On another note, I have my fav model back 💙 Handmade and unique heavy silver pendant (fully hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office). Available on the website (as are all the other necklaces!).

Guess who’s baaaack?! After a 4 month hiatus for dissertation writing, Scarlett has finally returned to make the bench a mess🙈Of course she couldn’t ease her way back into it with something simple🙄, but created this statement piece instead. Fresh off the bench it still needs hallmarking, but if it has caught your eye give us a wee message if you want more info or to reserve. For those wondering it’s tanzanite and a tiny moissanite gem that’s tangled amongst the coral. X #arisaig #scottishbeaches #notonamazonButton -

Did you get out in the sun today? Let us know if you’ve also been lucky with the weather! 🌞🌞🌞 Nice to have the sun out for our regular post office walk! If you’ve followed us a while, you know we try to make every part of the process as eco friendly as possible- including deliveries! When we can that includes walking rather than driving to our local post office to send out your special packages. Although only about 12km it is definitely more enjoyable when it’s not driving wind and rain 🥴 #countryliving #countrylivinguk #farmlifestyle #scottishwalks #whereilive #visitscotland #agriculturelife #rurallife #ruralliving #scotlandexplore #slowlivingmovement #slowlived #lambing #countryfile #ecofashion #ecofriendlypackaging #leavethecity #getoutside #scottishwalks #scottishspring #springwalks #cottagestyle #cottageandfarm #farmcore #scottishcountryside #countrysidewalk #fieldwatch #scottishagriculture #microadventure #scotlandisnowButton -

A galaxy of stars It is an honour to be trusted with the ashes of a loved one. I have just captured this beautiful soul in sea glass, and you can see that it looks like a little galaxy of stars. So special. While forming this I caught an aroma around me of a very specific perfume (I’m a bit witchy that way); woody & botanical,with perhaps a hint of tuberose. One doesn’t really get random perfume scents at the bench! It seems I described exactly the perfume worn by this beautiful lady. I like to think the energy is still around and they make themselves present if you are open to it. This nugget now needs a ring created to hold her little universe forever. #galaxy #starrysky #memorialjewellery #inmemoriam #memorialring #ashesjewellery #ashesring #ashesseaglassring #seaglass #seaglassaddict #capturingsouls #seaglassmemorialjewellery #lovedones #sisterlove #sentimentaljewellery #memorialjewelry #afterdeath #energyoftheday #soulenergy #soulguidance #soulwisdom #souljourney #soulhealing #grief #griefjourney #griefandloss #griefisloveButton -

Things don’t always go to plan! After the reel from yesterday I tried to finish off setting the sea glass. Unfortunately the fine silver bezel folded into the topography of the sea glass (normal), but the more I tried to make it look better, the worse it became. Ragged edges and a messy finish. So, I had to start again. This is the revamped Kelpie with a different bezel type. Well that one took me many hours and sweary words! #startagain #seaglassaddict #folklorejewelry #folkloreinspired #seaglasspendant #blueseaglass #beachtreasures #silversmithingandjewellery #silversmiths #handmadejewelry #madeinscotland #handmade #handmadejewellery #handmadeuk #craftuk #scottishartist #bohoseaglass #bohosilver #stirlingshire #uniquependant #uniquenecklace #hiddenscotland #scottishgifts #scottishseaglass #scottishseaglassjewelleryButton -

Kelpie pendant - process. Some of the processes after the silversmithing is done. Once the designing, forming and soldering is done, a lot of time is spent finishing the piece. That includes filing the silver, applying patina, sanding, polishing and setting the sea glass itself. As the sea glass is never ‘perfect’ in shape, the bezel around the glass shows the little natural indentations etc, which you don’t get with a lapidary cut gemstone. This is much accelerated to give you an idea. Actually setting the sea glass was difficult to film, but takes lots of time and patience.

Boho Beautiful With the glorious sunshine on my skin today, despite the cool air, my thoughts turned to summer. Beach visits and mini adventures are being planned. I've made these two boho bracelets with a simple sliding knot, as I think they are perfect for summer jewellery. If they are a 'hit' I can make more. If not, I'm very happy to keep them! I'm having problems uploading to the website right now, and will try later, but if you absolutely want one now, give me a shout. They are a very affordable £35. One is a periwinkle blue band, the other a teal blue. #bohostyle #wrapbracelet #surfbraceletButton -

Process. Using patina can really accentuate design features, curves and texture. It’s about highlights and lowlights.

Wearable Art - Sculptural Coral Ring Is jewellery art? What constitutes art? Art is something that is created with imagination and skill; that is beautiful, or that expresses important ideas or feelings. The medium used is irrelevant. I think there can be terrible snobbery that a painting is what art ‘is’. Anything other than a painting is relegated to the subset of a ‘craft’ item. As though somehow lesser than a painting. Indeed painting, jewellery or ceramics (or any art technique) are all wonderful crafts to be mastered. Each takes dedication, skill, many hours to make and innate creativity. Therefore I think it’s time that the art produced should be celebrated equally and given equal value. 😊 What do you consider ‘art’ to be? #art #artist #whatisart #scottishartist #scottishart #artgalleries #artmagazines #artwork #jewelleryisart #sculpturaljewelry #sculpturalring #artofinstagram #artlover #silverart #jewelleryart #jewelleryartist #artscotland #brutalistart #iamanartist #mystudio #galleryart #galleryartist #artrevolution #artcollective #artistsupportpledge #artistsunited #uniquejewellery #handmadejewelryButton -

Work In Progress A Scottish coral sculptural ring. One for the sea lovers, selkies and fin folk. It needs cleaned up, then I think a dark patina? After, I can polish of some off in order to really highlight the textures and shapes 🧐. There’s a sea goddess out there that needs this in their collection (it’s about a size O).

Pfft, having been teased with the old ‘Spring is just around the corner’ feeling; endless blue skies, crisp days and bright sunshine here in Scotland, the rug has been firmly pulled. Grey skies, torrential rain, sleet and with promised minus temperatures overnight to turn all that wet ground to sheet ice. To cap it all we ran out of oil for the heating at the weekend, so our old stone cottage is like Siberia. I did brave a short run earlier, and retuned drookit, with wet pants, for my effort. Social media is happening from my makeshift office now (aka my bed, with the electric blanket on!). No jewellery has been made on the basis I don’t want frostbite (no drama here 😂). Instead, I bring you the colours of the sea with the unique Sea Acorn necklace *SOLD* . I don’t think such an ocean treasure exists, but the molten silver formed around the sea glass in what I think looks a bit like an acorn. I rather like the effect. Swipe to see pics. Available and on the website. 💦❄️💦❄️💦❄️💦 #acorn #nature #sealife #seaglass #seaglassnecklace #seaglassjewelry #seaglassartist #seaglassaddict #seaglasshunter #uniquenecklace #mothersdayjewellery #scottishweather #beachcombingfinds #coastalliving #coastalstyle #coastaljewelry #britishcraft #britishcrafters #handmadeinscotland #handmadejewellery #sustainablejewellerylabel #sustainablefashion #seaglassloveButton -

Sunday Experimentation What do you think of the form and texture on this? Sometimes, with silver sheet and wire, I just can’t get the really organic finish I’d like for my designs. I want ocean movement, and the world beneath the waves. This is my first try with hard wax that you carve into your design. Then you can use an ancient technique called ‘lost wax casting’ to cast the design in the metal of your choice. And I’d love to embed a few sparking sapphires or diamonds in the design 🤩💛. Carving in 3D is much harder said than done I confess. But I’ve taken to using a candle flame rather than the tools I got with the kit (Xmas pressie to self, but only now I’m away for a few days break did I think to bring it with me for a play). That said, I’ve not read the instructions or consulted YouTube - straight in with my usual ‘I wonder what happens if’ approach 😂. Would you like to see designs like this come together in silver (or gold or bronze 🤔) and be available? Love your thoughts on this. #organic #nature #seascape #sealover #oceaninspired #oceaninspiredjewelry #lostwaxcasting #newdesigns #ladysmith #tryingnewthings #experimenting #handmadeuk #britishcraft #britishcrafters #newideas #tryingnewthings #creativelymadebusiness #creativecommunity #creativeinspiration #creatives #scottishartist #jewelleryart #seatreasuresButton -

I’m busy right now. I seem to have been residing too much within my head recently, avoiding social interaction, scrolling way too much on the iPhone and losing enthusiasm for my running and the things I love. Not good!

I thought you might like to see some of the stunning scenery, and my naked smiley face 😃 taking in my surroundings #nature #mentalhealthmatters #healinginnature #scotland #cairngorms #takingtime #innature #birchtree #explorescotland #walkscotland #scottishcountryside #scottishviews #cairngormsnationalpark #scottishlandscape #scottishhighlands #smallmoments #energyhealing #energywork #energymedicine #outdoorlife #microadventure #worryless #overthinkerButton -

This is Eating Disorders Awareness week. Unfortunately most people do not grasp the seriousness or complexity of this very real neurobiological illness. It impacts every aspect of the person’s life, and infiltrates their every thought. It crushes self esteem, hopes and dreams. There are physical changes to the brain that need to be ‘rewired’ by facing their fears daily in order to recover. It takes immense strength and effort, and support, to take this long and painful recovery journey. And it’s often hard to access the support and guidance needed within the system. To anyone on this journey, keep going. You are amazing. Better times are waiting for you 💕💕💕 Ocean Spume earrings. Inspired by froths of spume thrown on to the shore from white capped waves. Worn here with Ocean Surge necklace. #eatingdisorderecovery #eatingdisordersupport #eatingdisorderrecovery❤️💜 #eatingdisorderawarenessweek #anorexianervosa #keepgoing #recoverywarrior #recoverywarriors #eatingdisordersurvivor #eatingdisordercommunity #youareenough #bettertimesahead #recoveryjourney #recovertogetherrecoverstrongerButton -

The forgotten pieces on the website, in case you missed them. Or, more likely, we forgot to post them 😬. In fact, DM re the apatite/kyanite earrings as they haven’t even been uploaded 🤦♀️😂. Oops. Don’t you forget about them ☝🏼. It’s been a tough day today as my old mare, aged 27, is very poorly. Temperature of 40.5 degrees. We can’t find the cause but likely viral or bacterial infection, so she’s had painkillers,anti inflammatories, antibiotics and steroids injected as a blanket emergency treatment. 🤞🏼 she pulls through - she’s a tough old girl, but was so listless and unsteady on her feet today. It’s so hard to watch the pets we love, little or large, diminish with age. If things don’t improve significantly for her, I’ll need to take the right decision by her, and when that day comes I’ll be by her side to the end. We owe our animals that, don’t you think? I’m hoping I go up in the morning and find a happier horse, feeling much better and whinnying for breakfast. #getlostwithme #forgetful #horseproblems #godless #apatite #kyanitejewelry #originalart #originalsin #smallmoments #jewelry #jewelrydesigner #uniquejewelry #handmadeuk #sealover #crafters #craftersgonnacraft #ladysmith #equestrianlife #mares #petlove #insicknessandinhealth #animalcare #horsecare #fever #lovemyhorseButton -

Friday Feels. Sending positive vibes and hoping that the weekend brings you belly laughs, friends and adventures that make your soul sing. And remember, social media is a highlight reel - so stop comparing your life to an edited narrative you see on your timeline. Snuggling a cat, while reading a good book, is not to be sniffed at. 🌙🌙 Oh, and I finally finished the Moissinite Arisaig Limpet necklace - its a great lab grown (eco friendly) alternative to diamonds, and just as sparkly and hard wearing. Anyway, that and the sky blue topaz are now gracing the website.Button
