Jewellery made by hand, with meaning.

As the designer and maker behind Katherine Neale Jewellery, I create every piece by hand in my Worcestershire workshop using traditional silversmithing techniques.

I work mainly in sterling silver and 9ct gold, using recycled precious metals wherever possible. I love creating jewellery that feels personal — whether that’s a piece designed around a meaningful stone, sea glass you’ve collected yourself, or something made to mark a special moment.

My jewellery isn’t cast or mass-produced. Each piece is individually sawn, formed, soldered, set and finished by hand, so even made-to-order designs have their own subtle differences and character.

Made slowly, made properly

I believe the beauty of handmade jewellery lies in the details. From the first cut of silver to the final polish, each piece passes through my hands at every stage. I use traditional silversmithing techniques, with every element individually formed and finished by hand rather than cast or mass-produced. The marks and subtle variations of the making process become part of each piece’s character.

A little more about me

Katherine Neale, founder of Katherine Neale Jewellery

I’ve always been a creative person, happiest when I’m making something or off having an adventure. Before discovering silversmithing, I ran my own successful photography business and have also worked as a scuba diving instructor and boat captain, so travel and a love of the natural world have always been a big part of my life.

When I’m not at my workbench, I love spending time with family and friends, travelling and making memories together. I’m happiest outdoors — walking, wild swimming, gardening, practising yoga, keeping fit or planning the next adventure. I’ve always loved working with my hands, and jewellery making has become another way to turn that creativity into something lasting and meaningful.

What began as a passion has grown into Katherine Neale Jewellery, and one of the things I love most is knowing that something I’ve made by hand will go on to become part of someone else’s story
