Our Story

 

Welcome to Forest of Silver, thank you so much for visiting.

Based in Fordingbridge in the New Forest, in the beautiful English countryside, we create hand crafted silver jewellery inspired by our natural surroundings.

Our pieces are crafted using precious metals, with some of our favourite designs shaped and textured using natural items such as leaves and shells to create beautiful pieces inspired by nature.

 

My name is Natalie, and I’m the proud creator of Forest of Silver.

I’ve had a love affair with jewellery since a young age, so when I got the chance to learn silversmithing I jumped at it.

I’ve always been creative, and I’m really grateful to have the opportunity to combine creativity with my love of jewellery and our beautiful natural world.

My other passion in life is my wonderful family. Especially my hugely supportive husband Noel who’s tools I often ‘borrow’ in our workshop, and being a great photographer he comes in handy when I need photos of my pieces.

Our happy little daughter Amelia makes us laugh everyday and I secretly hope she may be my future jeweller apprentice! We also have two cheeky tabby cats Jeffrey and Derek who can usually be found either snoozing nearby or causing chaos somewhere.

Wearing a great piece of jewellery has a way of making you feel that little bit special and unique in your own style and I love designing new pieces to create that feeling. For me, earrings are my absolute favourite and a great pair will always make me feel fantastic.
