About us
The items shown on this site have all been designed and handcrafted by us.
The sparks of an idea to create the items displayed on this site, arose during one of our many hours beachcombing along the shorelines of Scotland. The purchase of a stone polisher, I suppose, made the next step almost inevitable.
The Banffshire quartz stones have all been individually collected, polished and set to show them off as they were first seen, dampened by the spray of the Moray Firth. The other items have been collected in different parts of Caledonia, elsewhere in Europe or simply chosen on shopping forays into bead establishments.
The Mineral and especially the Banffshire Quartz stone earrings have been paired as close as possible by size, shape, pattern and colour, but being naturally occuring stone there will be differences in one or more of those characteristics.
We have attempted to use non-allergenic materials i.e. nickel free, in the construction of our designs but cannot guarrantee them to be so. The ear-wires are silver plated but sterling silver ones can be supplied if required.
The image at the top of this page is looking across the bay at Scourie, in northwest Sutherland.
We are based in both Macduff in northern Aberdeenshire and Tynemouth in north east England.
