Helen Drye, the founder of Silver and Stone Jewellery Design, was born and raised in the picturesque county of Yorkshire. With a background in the public sector, Helen found her true calling in the creative world of jewellery design. In 2012, she established her company, Silver and Stone Jewellery Design, crafting exquisite silver and gemstone jewellery inspired by the beauty of nature.
Helen's designs draw inspiration from Skipwith Common, a local nature reserve near her spacious studio in the charming North Yorkshire village of Riccall. The common's serene landscape, rich history, and the myriad of life forms that inhabit it, serve as a constant source of inspiration for Helen's creations.
New Woodland Jewellery Range
The latest addition to Helen's collection is the Woodland Jewellery Range, which reflects her fascination with the local woodland and common beyond her studio. This range seeks to capture the mystique of the woodland, the people who walked the earth before, and the natural beauty of the landscape. The moon, its light, and the water on the common are key features of this collection, represented through silver, moonstone, gold leaf, glass specks, and patination on the silver. Peridot and labradorite are used to enhance the colour and reflective nature of the light.
