A little more about the designer and jewellery...

Linda and her team create their extensive range of jewellery in Linda’s home village of Cardross, near Loch Lomond, in Argyll and Bute, with her ever growing team of dedicated employees helping Linda to organise the business and create new and beautiful designs.

• November 2000 was the launch of her “Silver and Gold” Collections.
• To create her exquisite jewellery, Linda uses a 3,000 year old Japanese sword-making technique!
• The silver and gold create the beautifully individual and truly special designs that Linda captures so well within her work.

In December 2002, Linda released her “Nuggets” collection, which was inspired by the delightful weather forecasted: rain! Each piece is made from silver or 18ct yellow gold with a “nugget raindrop” of silver or 18ct yellow gold dropping from the piece.

• It is one of our best-selling designs here at Fabulous, the ‘Precious Nugget’ necklace being our biggest on-line seller to-date. This truly beautiful and fabulously elegant necklace has been bought by many many different people in our flagship shop or over our website for many different reasons - as an 18th birthday present, a Christmas gift, a loving gift to celebrate the birth of a first child – but always because it captures the imagination.

It was the follow up to her “Loopy Hearts” collection, which consisted of just that  - loops and hearts to create delicate pieces that capture the imagination and appeal to the eye. May 2004 saw the launch of the “Kriss X” collection - a collection of jewellery with the distinctive criss-cross designs upon silver and golden jewellery. Linda continued to create her "Hearts" collection- perfect designs for gifts loved ones. Following these beautiful collections we saw "Daisies" a beautiful collection of jewellery adorned with gold daisies.

Amongst the extensive range of delightful products, in 2003 Linda won ‘Scottish Gift of the Year’, followed in 2003 and 2004 by ‘Gift of the Year’.

• When Linda started designing her philosophy was to design and produce fun, young jewellery which would appeal to all ages. To achieve it, she wanted to work with silver and gold, often together. Linda starts with a design in mind but her work evolves constantly and at times, inspiration strikes while she is working on other things.

Her new collection, "Birds and Bees" is no exception to Linda's playful and simply beautiful style. Taking her inspiration from natures treats, this fabulous collection captures the essence of summer.

Linda’s work is an understated beauty, intricately delicate and feminine, making wonderful gifts or fabulous treats to oneself. Perfectly romantic and feminine gestures captured through inspirational designs, shapes and materials, a collection for everyone who loves jewellery - created by a passionate jewellery lover!
