Handmade Gifts and Christmas Wishes

December’s hustle and bustle is beginning to calm, as people gather their last few supplies of the things that make homes cosy and festive, ready for lively family gatherings or quiet candlelit moments over Christmas and new year.

I have had an amazing time over the last few weeks, attending Christmas Markets, displaying my jewellery, chatting to so many people about my silversmithing processes, helping shoppers find ideal gifts, or for the perfect treat for themselves. I have been delighted to see some previous customers wearing their Paula Wilkinson Jewellery, who have come back to buy from me again. These are special moments for a jewellery maker, a confirmation of the pleasure my creations can bring to people, making all the hard work that much more worthwhile.

Meaningful Handmade Gifts

If you’re looking for a gift that feels personal rather than mass-produced, handmade jewellery offers something different. Each piece that leaves my workbench is one-of-a-kind, made slowly and intentionally, which means no two are ever the same. They are a perfect way to celebrate your friends' and family members' unique individuality.

I make my jewellery from recycled sterling silver which I purchase from leading suppliers in Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, ensuring the best quality precious metal.

All the gemstones I include are natural. They have not been through any colour-enhancing processes such as heating or dying. I choose them for their character and imperfect perfection.

Your jewellery arrives beautifully boxed and ready to give, whether it’s for a loved one or a well-deserved treat for yourself.

Paula Wilkinson Jewellery Gift Vouchers

The last posting dates for Christmas have now past, but gift vouchers are available by email, so you can still treat your loved ones to a piece of Paula Wilkinson Jewellery, with the added bonus that they can choose for themselves the exact item they want. To receive Gift Vouchers in time for Christmas, the latest date to order is Tuesday 23rd December 2025.

What’s coming up in January

The first quarter of the year is generally a quiet time for events, but I’ll be looking out for Markets and Fairs to sign up for in 2026. I’ll keep you posted as bookings are added to my calendar.

In the meantime, you can find a selection of my pieces in stock at the fabulous Warwickshire Artisans Shop at Yew Tree Farm, Wootton Wawen, near Henley-in-Arden B95 6BY.

I’m also delighted that Paula Wilkinson Jewellery will be back at Banbury Museum & Gallery from mid-January through to mid-April 2026. Exact dates to be advised. This is a gorgeous gift shop in the entrance to Banbury Museum, Castle Quay Shopping Centre, Banbury OX16 2PQ.

My website is also always available for browsing and shopping. All pieces listed are finished items, ready to dispatch, with FREE delivery to UK addresses.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Please send a message and I’ll do my best to help.
