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.
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 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’.
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!
