July updates

I hope you are keeping well in these current, often challenging, times.

As our delivery services were particularly stretched earlier this year due to the Covid-19 situation, I temporarily paused sending orders during March and April. I resumed posting out orders early in May.

If you have been a visitor to Northumbria Gems before, you will see that my home page looks a bit different, as I have been able to spend time updating the layout and images. My shop pages should work in the same way as before (I have made some of the text a bit bigger, though).

I hope you will like the recent additions to my shop, some newly-made sea glass and sea pottery necklaces (one example below), and a men’s Whitby jet hammered silver ring. I have also begun adding more chain length options to many of my necklaces.

Handcrafted sterling silver sea glass necklace

Another example of original handcrafted silver jewellery from Northumbria Gems is this sea glass bezel pendant.

The pendant was made using a piece of oval, frosted Northumbrian sea glass collected by hand on the lovely north-east coast of England. I forged a thick bezel in sterling silver using traditional silversmith techniques. The bezel was made to fit exactly around the outer of the sea glass to keep its original shape, and a matching bail added. The result is this original Northumbrian seaglass necklace, which is also fully UK hallmarked.

As I use only genuine sea glass in my jewellery every piece of sea glass used will be slightly different, and each new pendant will be unique.

I hand-craft the sterling silver bezel, using silverwork techniques, around the unique shape of the piece of sea glass.
