Distinct, handmade jewellery for your signature style.
Handcrafted, high-quality jewellery is slow-made. Each and every piece that leaves my studio has been designed and created through my hands.
A few small, popular pieces have been designed with handmade molds to ensure they’re readily available for gifts and celebrations. These pieces are given the same thought and attention to detail as those that are one-of-a-kind.
Woodland & Coastal
Originally designed in 2011, a collection with silver jewellery named, “Lichen” inspired by local towering forests–has evolved to include a mix of timeless gold pieces and new inspiration from my time on the coast.
Long walks spent gazing upon the dense, twisted oaks and birch trees across from my studio inspire imprints of bark and the many abstract shapes of lichen. While exploring the delicate, yet rugged coastline of the Falkland Islands, I’ve called on the endless shapes and textures from shells, bubbles covering the shore after crashing waves–and even shipwrecks, to create my most organic pieces.
With nearly something for everyone, you’ll find yourself reminiscent of the calmness that arises when immersed in nature. Each uniquely designed piece allows you to carry the beauty of nature with you wherever you go.
Relics
Invigorated by her intrepid lifestyles at opposite ends of the earth – the far-flung sub-Antarctic Falkland Islands and historic North Yorkshire – jewellery designer Alice Clarke is inspired by the stark and daunting beauty of her two homes.
Coastlines and mountains, plateaus and plains – all offer infinite inspiration in both hemispheres. In the north reflections on monastic ruins, rolling countryside sheltering curved ironstone mines, and in the south semi-precious agate tumbled in icy seas and thrown onto untouched white sands, ready for collection and combination with gold, platinum, diamonds and sapphires.
And for the first time in the islands’ history Alice has plucked the stunning gemstone Jasper from penguin-trampled beaches, bespoke cut with facets, and deservingly presented with all the beauty and ceremony of a precious stone
These two lands that overawe in their emptiness, their ruggedness, or hold echoes of the past are a perfect foil for Alice’s fascination for worldly ancient jewellery and the process of casting – a process she has now carried 8,000 miles to the UK overseas territory for inhouse work.
The medium is both a beautiful and somehow respectful conduit, and in the disciplined elegant lines of each distinct piece – using recycled and ethically sourced materials, soft golds and dull silvers that pick out the yellow and white grasses of the Falklands and the grey limestone of the Yorkshire Dales – Alice merges both the organic and the ancient.
Ethereal
A sense of escapism into other realms led to the creation of these otherworldly treasures made with precious and semi-precious gemstones. Delicate, feminine details combined with strong precious metals bring these fantasy-esque pieces to life.
After a walk in the forest or stroll in the hills, and with my wild imagination of dreaming up fantasies and fairy tales, the inspiration to create these pieces comes with ease. While at the jeweller’s bench, you can feel the mystical ambiance of a crackling fire, Enya playing in my ears, and Lord Of The Rings on download. Within the Collection, you’ll find pieces named ‘Meraki’ – meaning doing something with soul, creativity or love, and putting a piece of yourself into your work.
This playful collection lets you tap into the world of your favorite fantasies with the use of pear-shaped stones and tiny tiara-like details designed for each individual ring. While showcasing a contemporary look and Earthy shape that flatters your hand.
Archipelago
Sea kayaking around the Archipelago that are the Falkland Islands, has opened up my world to new inspirations from my second home in the South Atlantic; enabling me to produce what I feel is my best collection to date.
Paddling on the surface of the ocean, being in and amongst the giant sea kelp that grows in vast kelp forests; it was inevitable that the swirling tendrils lapping on the rocks from the swell would inspire my next fine-jewellery collection, ‘Archipelago’. The rugged and untouched Falkland Islands have an incomparable sense of raw beauty and have truly captured my imagination.
Reminiscent of the sun and sea sparkling in front of my studio, these pieces are created from precious metals such as Platinum and 18 ct yellow gold, combined with diamonds and other precious stones. Each piece is named after a significant place in the Falklands. Whether it’s Shallow Bay over on the West Falklands or the lighthouse lookout at Cape Pembroke.
This collection has been and always will be inspired by these magnificent Islands. My hope with every piece is to connect you with the unforgettable feeling that comes with experiencing the Archipelago.
