Claire Howard
I make delicate, simple jewellery in a beautiful corner of North Norfolk. The kind of handmade jewellery I like to wear is everyday pieces which are elegant and made from quality materials.
I'm passionate about wearing timeless but well-made jewellery - uncomplicated pieces which are practical enough to be worn all the time! To me, it doesn't matter if we are on a school run, working in a school of small children or out for a meal or a walk with the dog, my jewellery is intended to be pretty and well crafted - that's what matters to me.
From my workbench in North Norfolk, I take inspiration from being outside. We are so lucky in this corner of England to have beautiful beaches, woodlands and a hill or two (yes we do!) where I flourish being outside with the dog walking and enjoying some space and time. Being outside lifts my spirits and enables me to focus on the simple things in life - I put these in my jewellery - accents of little delicate bees and daisies, hearts and droplets of gold.
Some of my earliest memories are from walking on Holkham Beach and through the estate grounds, we still walk these walks and every walk there is something new to see.
In this general catalogue we publish just a few examples of Claire's work, with most of the exhibits currently available being shown in our website shop.
