THE MAKERS BEHIND THE BRAND

FOUNDER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR & GOLDSMITH - Alice Clarke

Alice has always been drawn to the raw, organic beauty of nature. It’s often the overlooked, details and oddities of what lies beneath the surface of the ocean, or the intricate miniature world of Lichens that captivate her sense of wonder and ignites her creativity. Whether exploring rugged caostlines or dense ethereal forrests, the romantic pull of the natural world always calls Alice to create.

While training at the world-renowned School of Jewellery in Birmingham, Alice began to refine her craft, developing an affinity for intricacy and quality craftsmanship. After 6 years away in the Falkland Islands she now finds herself back on home soil, creating in her new workshop in Pateley Bridge, Nidderdale.

BENCH jEWELLER - Jo Hæstrup

Originally from Denmark, Jo grew up surrounded by shoreline, fostering her deep connection to the ocean and all its creatures and flora. Jo joined Alice in her Falkland studio in 2023, working with Alice on her silver collections and commissions. For Jo, being part of this team means letting her creative soul thrive, drawing upon nature for inspiration, and learning daily from the skilful Alice.

gALLERY ASSISTANT - Erin Ranney

Growing up in the wild regions of Washington State and Alaska, Erin has always been inspired by wild coastlines. As a current gallery assistant, Erin will soon be taking a place at the bench after shadowing Alice, learning and refining the wax carving techniques.

LAPIDARIST- Martha Molkenbuhr

After moving to the Falkland Islands from Cumbria in 2006, it didn’t take long before Martha discovered an interest in the exquisite archipelago pebbles. Intrigued by the patterns and colours hidden within each pebble, she began cutting, shaping, and polishing these finds. She uses her craft to produce hand-cut and polished agates and jaspers for our one-of-a-kind pieces

RESPONSIBLY SOURCED, MADE TO LAST

Pairing recycled gold and silver with handcrafted techniques, our jewellery is designed to last a lifetime. Many of the gemstones in our collections, such as pearls, agates, and jaspers, are handpicked by Alice during long walks along the shores of the Falkland Islands.

When sourcing outside diamonds and gemstones, we work only with a select few suppliers committed to ethical sourcing. In the Out of the Shallows Collection, we use natural Ocean Diamonds handpicked from the ocean floor off the West Coast of South Africa.
