Willow & Twigg
Alverstoke, Hampshire
Hello! I’m Kelly, and I create silver, sea glass and gemstone jewellery from my home studio on the south coast of Hampshire.
I take my inspiration from flowers, nature and the ocean when creating my designs, especially my unique and 'one of a kind' statement pieces.
All my work is handmade (by me) using traditional metalsmithing tools and techniques; crafted with skill and care, and made to last a lifetime.
I used to be an officer in the Royal Navy, and when my husband was offered an overseas posting I retired to go with him and focus on raising a family. We spent three years in the USA, and on returning home moved to Gosport - very close to the sea where I found a new love for beachcombing and collecting sea glass!
As our children started school the desire for more self-identity and an occupation of my own became stronger. With such a young family self-employment seemed the best option, and I longed to do something creative after so many years in the military.
I had enjoyed making beaded jewellery as a hobby years before, and added metalsmithing to my skillset so I could use sea glass in my designs. I set about teaching myself to work with silver and built a small business to sell my work. Willow & Twigg was launched in 2019 and I haven’t looked back!
