Water Drop Pebble Stud Earrings

Shaped by the coastline of the Isle of Wight, The Bay Collection draws on shifting tides, worn textures and the quiet rhythm of the sea.

Each piece is handcrafted in silver or gold, with surfaces that echo erosion, movement, and time…jewellery designed to hold a sense of place.

The Inspiration

The collection began with observation.

Light moving across the water.
The texture of stone softened over time.
The way the shoreline is constantly reshaped, never fixed.

These details aren’t recreated directly, but translated – through mark-making, form and the subtle irregularities that come from working by hand.

The Making Process

Each piece is individually handcrafted in the studio, allowing the material to respond during making.

Rather than highly polished finishes, the surfaces are left with a softer, more organic quality – reflecting the natural changes that inspired them.

There’s a balance between control and unpredictability, where the process itself becomes part of the final piece.

A Sense of Place

The Bay Collection isn’t about a single location, but a feeling.

For some, it’s a connection to the Isle of Wight.
For others, it’s a memory of time spent by the sea – something personal, carried quietly.

Each piece is made to be worn, held, and returned to a small, physical connection to place and experience.
