April 2025

Hello

I hope you are well.

Spring is in full swing and so is my workbench! I've been working on new creations, preparing for events and planning the installation of my jewellery at a new stockist – more on that below. But first, here’s what’s new from Paula Wilkinson Jewellery this April...

Hot Off The Workbench

This pendant features a beautiful natural purple amethyst cradled within a hand-forged hammered silver circle, two elements suspended together while moving freely on their chain.

And for something with a little more movement, the latest addition to my Nouveau Organic Collection is this pair of earrings starring natural apatite gemstones – said to inspire clarity and self-expression. The flowing silver wraps around these vibrant teal-blue stones and falls like ribbons below.

The Ivy Collection is Back​!

Good news for lovers of botanical jewellery – the Ivy Leaves Collection is back in stock! Inspired by the timeless symbolism of ivy – a plant associated with everlasting love, loyalty, and resilience – this collection includes: 

• Dangly ivy leaf earrings
• Trailing ivy leaf pendants 
• Organic ivy rings 
• Ivy leaf stud earrings 

 Each piece is individually handmade in recycled sterling silver, designed to echo the way ivy twists and grows in nature.

New Stockist – Banbury Museum Shop

I'm delighted to share that a selection of my jewellery is now available at Banbury Museum & Gallery's shop. It’s a gorgeous space with a strong focus on contemporary local craft, and I’m so pleased to be included among their makers. If you’re in the area, do pop in! 

The entrance is in the Castle Quay Shopping Centre and is fully accessible to all. To plan your visit, directions and opening times can be found on Banbury Museum & Gallery website website.
