Updated March 2025.
Hello, welcome to our Stargazy Cottage Jewellery shop.
My name is Trish and I have been making jewellery for 10+ years now but only in the last 2 years have I started Silversmithing from scratch which is really rewarding!
I have always loved and been intrigued by jewels since I was a little girl riffling through my grannys jewellery box , I started off making beaded pieces on a rug on a beach in Cornwall. Friends told me I should sell my pieces. I sold on a market stall and that was very popular so set up online as well and have never looked back! I recently decided I wanted to make more solid ' proper jewellery ' so taught myself silversmithing.
As a Self taught jeweler I now use a mixture of sterling silver, copper, brass and 9ct gold to make my designs. I mainly work with. 925 sterling silver but do sometimes work with 9ct gold which is so exciting! It's amazing what you can make with your hands using some metal and a hot flame! It will always state on item description what metal has been used.
I do a mixture of stud earrings , dangly earrings, hoops, necklaces, bracelets, bangles, hair pins , mens jewellery, cufflinks and rings. Trying to use gemstones and seaglass as much as possible in my designs! I only use seaglass ive found here in Cornwall on my morning beach walks and sea swims.
Im inspired by the sea and flowers/ nature mainly and my time growing up in Cornwall.
Our workshop is in our studio in our garden here at Stargazy Cottage in Cornwall in the UK.
Im a self employed stay at home mum with 4 young children so juggle my time efficiently so all work gets done.
I take it very seriously and have worked very hard to build up my loyal repeat customers and followers around being a busy mum!
Our office and workshop is at the bottom of our garden so the commute to work is rather pleasant!
I have so much more experience these days but the same fiery passion that I started with. Ive learnt so many new techniques in my 10 years of being a jeweler and still learning new things daily which keeps it exciting. I'm a self taught silversmith and proud how far I've come and how many different designs I can now do.
