Inspired by Nature

I love being outdoors in the countryside so it will come as no surprise that I use nature as the inspiration behind my jewellery designs.  There are so many patterns and textures when you start to look closely at plants and the details when you zoom in fascinate me. I’m also interested by the patterns in the landscape - which may stem from my geography degree and having parents who studied geology!

Eco-friendly

Caring for our natural world underpins all I do & I strive to leave as light a footprint on the Earth as possible

Inspired by the patterns found in nature - here every intricate detail of a skeleton leaf has been captured in silver in this bespoke pendant, a commission by Esther Priestley, Sowerby Bridge.

Esther makes the most beautiful jewellery, inspired by nature. Her work makes the most perfect gift for your special love.

You don't need me to tell you that Esther's pieces are beautiful, because you can see that for yourself.

Esther sent the jewellery out for my mum (in the UK) really quickly and even included a personalised note for her. My mum was really happy with her gift and thought they were beautiful. - Ali, Christchurch, New Zealand
