Claire Grainger Jewellery

Vendor Biography

Hello and Welcome to my store.

I am Claire, I handcraft jewellery in sterling silver and gold from my workshop near Rochester in Kent.

I love to source precious and semi precious gemstones. Each piece I work on is a piece of handcrafted art. When designing I consider shape, form, texture and colour, working where possible with recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones.

I create timeless, handcrafted jewellery in my workshop based just outside Rochester in Kent, working with recycled gold and silver and ethically sourced gemstones. Each piece is thoughtfully designed with sustainability at heart, whether it’s a bespoke commission or the remodelling of a treasured heirloom into something new. Beautifully crafted, meaningful and hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office.

I am a member of The Guild Of Jewellery Designers and The Society of British Jewellers.

My Jewellery arrives with a reuseable Jewellery bag which can store your jewellery and is good for travelling with your pieces, or an eco friendly jewellery box with my logo, again can be reused to store your jewellery when not being worn. Posted in a reusable box with instruction ‘how to care for your jewellery’. Each piece is carefully packaged  and ready to gift, making my pieces ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, engagement, wedding rings, commitment rings or for a special treat.
