Olivia Wotton
Based in South Devon, Olivia Wotton Jewellery is designed & handmade from Olivia’s workshop. Olivia is inspired to make her simple yet beautiful jewellery by the world around her - the sea, beaches and fields.
In 2002 Olivia graduated from the Surrey Institute of Art & Design, having studied silversmithing and jewellery. She had been designing and making jewellery for five years as a hobby since and in 2007 decided to become a full time jeweller.
Olivia creates her unusual jewellery by using a mixture of sterling silver, 9 & 18ct gold, Freshwater pearls, Swarovski® crystals & pearls, semi-precious stones, locally handmade glass beads, fair trade Acholi beads, Miyuki Delicas seed beads, shells and ash wood from fallen trees on her parents farm near the village of Beeson in South Devon. All these materials enables Olivia to create a diverse selection of beautiful yet simple pieces, many of which are one offs'.
Olivia's main inspiration for her jewellery comes from the sea, beach and countryside around her home in South Devon. She finds inspiration from many unusual objects, the age lines in a piece of wood, the patterns that bales of straw make when they are dotted around a field, tangled fishing tackle disregarded on a beach or even cows hair wrapped around a wire fence.
