About Lilac Lakes 

Based in Poole, Dorset.

 

I am passionate about creating earth-friendly sterling silver jewellery. I try to reduce my waste as much as possible, using recycled silver, and then repurposing my leftover silver into rings, pendants and embellishments for my designs. Sea glass is also a very sustainable aspect. More can be found out about my sustainability here.

​

I began to teach myself silversmithing in 2021 and absolutely loved it, I can't describe how much it means to me when people love my jewellery. I kept practicing until May 2022, when I rebranded my previous crystal shop to 'Lilac Lakes', to sell my jewellery. At this time I created with crystals and sea glass, but began to focus solely on sea glass when I started to realise how much more I loved it! It also meant I had an excuse to go sea glass hunting more often!

I caught the bug for sea glass hunting! I love travelling to my local sea glass beach in Dorset to spend the day collecting pieces. I've made trips up to Seaham which is a fairly famous beach for sea glass, and plan to take lots more trips to other beaches in the UK. I also began to offer custom sea glass jewellery, using sea glass sent to me by the customer. This was very daunting at first but has quickly become a favourite of mine!​
