Northumbria Gems jewellery is handmade from dichroic glass and local natural gemstones set in silver, nature and local landscapes inspiring some of the themes and textures. Art glass affords a wide choice of shape, colours and texture for my dichroic fused glass jewellery and glassware, through fusing and casting techniques. Other natural gemstones include Queensland sapphire, cut and faceted for some one-off pieces. Each material lends itself to beautiful and unusual jewellery.
I handcraft natural gems found among Northumberland’s wild, remote hills, and along our lovely coastline. An interest in gemstones was inspired when prospecting with my family in the Queensland Gemfields, finding amethyst, sapphires and smokey quartz. My father began gem-cutting using our finds, and I continue this family tradition at Northumbria Gems.
