Arkane Jewellery was established in 1989. Now in it's 30th year of trading, Arkane continues to stay true to its founding principles - to produce unique, individually designed pieces of work, all of which contain something of the maker about them. The past two decades have seen many changes. New workshops, changing fashions and an increased range of work have all had their influence on the direction that Arkane has taken.
Most of the pieces continue to be influenced by Anglo-Saxon design and culture, featuring animals and natural forms, a style which has never ceased to be an inspiration. Inspired by ancient works, the pieces are still created with a contemporary feel. Arkane originally specialised in one-off brooches, pins and buckles cast in silver.

Services
Arkane normally exhibits at between 6 - 10 shows and exhibitions throughout the year and has a permanent display at the Cotswold Craftsmen Gallery in Market Street, Nailsworth, GL6 0BX. Some events for 2021 have now been confirmed but do check nearer the time to ensure they are still going ahead. I will be exhibiting at this lovely festival alongside members of the Cotswold Craftsmen and Herefordshire Guild of Craftsmen.
My workshop/gallery in Chalford, GL6 8NR and The Cotswold Craftsmen Gallery in Nailsworth, GL6 0BX are now both re-open! Jewellery is of course something very personal that often needs to be tried on so please be assured that should you wish to return any piece that 'isn't quite you' once it arrives, I will give a full refund when it is returned to me as it left.
Most bangle designs can be repeated and can be made up in any metals or combination of metals. Designs can be made as complete or open bangles. Bangles can also be specially designed for you or made up to your own design. Please visit New and Available work page for bangles currently in stock and available to buy (this is being updated gradually!).
Brooches and pins were the Anglo-Saxon version of the zip! But far more attractive! Used to fasten clothing and cloaks back then, we now also have the luxury of wearing them just to look good and dress up our garments. All cast brooch designs are one-offs. Similar designs can be made up in any metals or pieces can be commissioned to your own design.
Earring designs can be repeated and made up in any combination of metals, except cast earrings which are always one-offs. Repeated designs are still individually hand-made so may differ slightly from a design chosen. Earrings can be made up to match pendants and can be fitted with hook or stud fittings.
