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.

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.
