Wendy McLean - Jewellery Designer

The design of jewellery has often been in sync with the technological progress of humans over the centuries. My inspiration stems from the ancient Egyptian, Medieval eras and designs with an African theme. I am also influenced by the use of both old and new technologies to design new pieces.

I use natural, semi-precious stones, precious stones, found objects, modern and high tech materials and combine them with silver and gold to create stunning contemporary jewellery. I create simple wire designs to more complicated ones using silversmith and engineering techniques. The design range includes necklaces, pendants, earrings and bracelets.

I often design around the shape and textures of the stones. I am a keen photographer, and in this, many design inspirations are found in natural repeat patterns, which can be seen in some of my metal work.

I also attend Craft fairs which included the Abbots Ripton Hall Garden show and the Cambridge Open Studios. Commissions are gladly undertaken. Please fill in the contact page for further information. Thank you.
