Welcome to Kittiwake Jewellery
Unique items of jewellery using genuine English sea glass and sterling silver - created by Melinda Llewdib.
'I am always in awe of nature and what it produces. I have many wonderful memories of collecting interesting items off the beach that nature leaves behind - shells, pebbles, driftwood and beautiful pieces of natural sea glass. Its the mystery of these gems, where do they originate from, in what form and how long ago? Each piece has been sculpted by many decades of tides. I do not change the shape or tumble them, they are as I find them - simply beautiful.' This is where my inspiration and desire came from to enhance the beauty of sea glass by making it into jewellery. Many of the pieces of sea glass are at least 80 years old, real collectors items.
My designs have been deliberately kept simple for people to appreciate the beauty of the sea glass. All charms 'buttons' I have made individually using solid silver. The sea glass I find is only shaped by nature, rolling with and around pebbles and sand. My work is exhibited in many galleries across the country, including Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk and Cornwall.
I do hope you get as much pleasure as I do from each piece. A unique gift for yourself or someone special.' - clip or stud earrings and cufflinks can be made on request -
