The Coastal Jewellery Edit 🌊🤍🪼

Some of our favourite pieces that reflect the beauty of our seaside surroundings, made with love and care by our wonderful makers 🤍

Laura Jackson | Jeweller & Workshop Leader uses real sea glass & molten to create her captivating pieces, and you can often find her searching for it down the Cornish coast 🛥️

Suzanne Bennet fuses her glass to melt multiple pieces of together and create beautiful pieces, all done from her Cornish studio 🛖

S.A Mckellar Glass creates these stunning, handmade, layered pendants that draw you in just like the sea 🌊

Emily Clark coastal jewellery pieces mimic the beautiful beach we call home, looking almost identical to the famous Westward Ho! Sunset we know and love. Made from original embroidery (how impressive) 🤩🪡

Meet the Makers of The Nest | Emma in Colour 🤍🩵

Emma’s works with hand-drawn Lino cut prints, and her inspiration blossoms from creating her own world that feels softer, calmer and easier to sit with. Her work is about how it feels, rather than how it looks, and it draws on connectivity.

Each piece is hand-drawn, carved, and printed, giving it a tactile quality and natural variation. The process is slow and intentional: “What once felt daunting, like mistakes that can’t be undone, has become a comfort, and now I see those imperfections as a part of how the piece was always meant to be”.

We love having Emma as a part of the collective, show her some love 🩵 .in.colour

When you take a piece home from our shelves, you aren’t just buying an item. You’re investing in creativity, culture, and human connection.

Choosing slow-made in a world of mass production matters more than ever. Every purchase supports independent makers, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the stories behind each piece.

Take a look through our page to discover some of the makers you’re supporting 🤍
