Silver Thistle Workshop Blog
Welcome to my Silver Thistle Workshop blog.
I share how I make my jewellery from recycled silver, the Scottish memories and landscapes behind my designs, and practical guidance about choosing handmade silver jewellery.
You will also find workshop updates, gemstone stories and a closer look at the traditional techniques I use in my Liverpool workshop.
How to Check the Quality of Handmade Silver Jewellery Online
