NI Silver is a family run business specialising in sharing the joy of creating your own jewellery via our jewellery making experiences and workshops. Fun days out with your family and friends or some quality 'me' time you are welcome to join us in the Holywood Hills. Our jewellery making experiences are relaxing and fun and our jewellery maker Ruth has a gift for putting people at ease. No experience is required and Ruth will do as much or as little of the making as you wish. We are partners with Tourism NI and the 'Embrace a Giant Spirit' and love how our experiences help people to connect with the 'old ways' of making things rather than just buying everything. Nestled in the hills overlooking Belfast Lough we are connected to the ancient lands around us and point out to people that they would have been able to see RMS Titanic glide past our view if they stood in our garden all those years ago. We also create handmade and hand-crafted silver + gold, hallmarked and engraved jewellery, reflecting Northern Irish iconic buildings and bespoke commissions. Our 3D jewellery pieces have been carved from wax or constructed in silver, by Ruth McEwan-Lyon who is from Belfast but is now living in Holywood, Northern Ireland (home of Rory McIlroy). They are then cast in silver, hand finished, hallmarked and engraved. We also produce unique pieces of jewellery influenced by the sea, our countryside and the national beauties from the island of Ireland. Also including our Celtic influences we look both to the past but also to the future with our jewellery / jewellery designs. We also love to receive commissions and believe that everyone should have access to their own designer/maker. We can give you options and are happy to discuss your plans and desires to achieve your beautiful gifts of earrings, necklaces, cufflinks, lapel pins, broaches, tie pins, christening gifts, wedding (bridesmaid/groomsman) presents, tourist gifts, Pandora style dangle charms and of course for our many Irish ex-pats relatives as unique Christmas, Valentines day, Mothers day, Fathers day or birthday presents. Imagine how nice it would be to handover a gift that you designed and were involved in making, just precious!
