MEET THE MAKER

Riley is wearing a backwards cap, a black button up shirt and is smiling into the camera.  Hello, my name is Riley, I use they/them and he/him pronouns and I live in Nottingham, UK, with my husband and our cat, Kitty. (She was already named that when we adopted her, don't come at me for being so unimaginative!)

 I first started metalsmithing and making jewellery when I was bought a ring-
making lesson as a gift.  By the end of the class I knew this wouldn’t be the end of it and bought my first set of tools. Since then my tool kit has expanded and I found a passion for making detailed jewellery, out of high quality silver and bronze, for nature lovers like myself.
 
My nature and outdoors inspired designs came from a desire to shut off the chatter of daily life and get back to nature so that I could remember what’s important and find my roots.
 
  The beauty of the outdoors can be so enchanting and thought-provoking that I can’t help but feel a sense of calm wonderment whenever I’m amongst it. Wanting to take a piece of this feeling with me wherever I went, I decided to replicate elements of nature into my designs.

Here you will find hand-crafted jewellery inspired by the wild and mystical and an appreciation of the Earth, so that we might remember what’s important– simply that we are nature.
 
  I have been vegan for over a decade so, naturally, all of the jewellery on this website is suitable for vegans and all packaging is sustainable and responsibly sourced.
