Hannah lives on a yacht with her husband, her baby girl and yellow Lab, where she designs and creates her beautiful, handcrafted silver jewellery. Her passion for jewellery making began while living in Barcelona and grew as she discovered more and more interesting and beautiful beads and charms to integrate into her designs. Hannah works mostly in fine and sterling silver with gemstone details. She uses sterling silver wire, manipulated it into a backdrop for wonderful gemstones which she then integrates with the fine silver charms, pendants and beads from the Karen Hill Tribe in Thailand. Hannah uses the beautifully silver-smithed components created by the Karen, together with gemstones, to produce delightful pieces of wearable jewellery.
Hannah is pleased to have three retail outlets selling her jewellery:
“The Gift Shop” Oulton Broad, Lowestoft, England
Love Your Home in Uppsala, Sweden
Nunoya in Barcelona, Spain
Hannah is also thrilled to be a part of Vogue magazines “Vogue’s Jewellery Box” from September until Christmas.
Hannah designs her jewellery pieces around the stones or pearls themselves. Due to the fact that they come from nature each one is unique and has different attributes.
Even the Karen Hill Tribe silver beads, charms and pendants that Hannah uses in her jewellery are individual due to their being hand crafted.
Hannah joins the natural stones and pearls together with the silver of the Karen Hill Tribe to create jewellery that has a charm of its own.
All of the materials used are carefully chosen for their individual qualities and quality. All the silver is sterling or fine silver. The pearls are cultured, the semiprecious stones all natural and the crystals all Swarovski.
To keep your jewellery looking shiny, simply rub the silver with a silver polishing cloth on a regular basis.
The Karen silver can be cleaned with lime juice.
Handcrafted jewellery will always be more fragile than industrially made or mass produced items. Therefore, the jewellery needs to be handled with care and consideration.
We advise that you don’t wear it during sports or in industrial situations where things can get caught.
Try to keep the semiprecious stones and pearls away from chlorine and domestic cleaners as these may alter the colours.
The Karen are a tribe of 400,000 people, who over the centuries have moved steadily, farming the land from Tibet (it is thought) all the way to the hills of Burma and Thailand. They have settled in these hills and instead of moving every ten years to find more fertile land to farm the tribe have found other sources of income. Silver-smithing has become big industry for them, helping to keep their culture and life style as traditional as possible. The Karen produce almost all their silver work by hand, using soft pure/fine silver, to create wonderfully earth inspired pendants, beads and charms.w
