Please do feel free to contact me with any comments or questions. Bowerbird Jewellery is all handmade by myself , in Strathspey in The Scottish Highlands. I live in a beautiful part of the world in the shadow of the Cairngorm Mountains. All my life I have loved the outdoors and have travelled the world to indulge my passion for wildlife, the natural world in general and simply being outside to wi
tness its spectacle. I have always been ever so slightly obsessed with colour and jewellery as all my friends will tell you and on nearly all my trips to different parts of the globe I have come back with some treasure or other to bedeck either myself, a friend or my home. Now with a little more time on my hands I have started creating my own jewellery using, primarily, Czech glass beads which I think are the most stunning I have ever come across. I use the beads to create pieces of jewellery that echo the colours of the local landscape and further afield. I think the most beautiful colours are natural colours and so I am combining these and the textures of the beads to reflect the shades I see everyday when I am out walking in my local area. Nearly all the beads I use are imported from the Czech Republic. There is so much history to these jewel-like treasures, that, I believe, is what gives them such character and depth. Beads have been made in the Czech Republic since Roman times, and bead making is now a thriving industry in Northern Bohemia having come through turbulent times previously. Many of the beads are produced in small family run factories , at one time there were over 2000 factories in Northern Bohemia which has the natural resources to make such high quality glass. If you can't see what you want but like the idea behind my jewellery I am happy for you to contact me. If you want something making for a specific occasion in specific colours I would be very happy to make something bespoke
