Were you a kid who pressed your face up against museum glass cases, falling in love with ancient treasures you knew you could never touch?

Me too.

I was always a little magpie, and that’s why I do what I do now; to keep goldsmithing traditions alive, and to find a way to bring these artifacts I’d always dreamed of out of history by recreating and reinterpreting them.

Crowsong Jewellery pieces are made of recycled silver and gold, and occasionally brass, copper and bronze, incorporating precious gemstones and beads. 

I love jewellery that looks like amulets and talismans, and anything that feels like it could have been an archeological discovery. I like to feature ancient techniques, such as granulation, which is over 5000 years old, filigree and lost wax casting. 

My work can be found for sale at the wonderful crystals and esoterica shop Portal in Leith , Edinburgh and The Leith Collective’s lovely location in Dundee.
