Karen Saunders

I began my jewellery career in 1989, starting as an apprentice at the bench in my home town in Norfolk, before moving South to work for a number of distinguished jewellery designers. I have spent the last 16 years in Nutbourne raising a family and building my own jewellery business. Using my own designs, or working with a customer to bring their ideas to life, I hand make one off pieces of jewellery using Platinum, Gold, and Silver, set with precious, or semi-precious stones. I really enjoy the process of working with a customer, often using an unworn piece of their own jewellery, or an inherited family piece, and then remodelling the metal and stones into a new, wearable item that has sentimental value.
