Petra Jewellery grew out of a life long fascination and love for stones and rocks, combined with a love for creating beautiful things. Petra, incidentally, is the Greek word for "Rock". As a child I had a vast collection of rocks and stones and it came as no surprise to my family that I now make jewellery! I try to cater for a wide range of styles and tastes, taking my inspiration from whatever catches my fancy.

I have a preference for semi-precious gemstones, Swarovski Crystal and Karen Hill Tribe Silver.

Karen silver is special as in the early 1960`s , as part of a royal project, the farmers of the Karen Hill Tribe in Thailand were taught the art of Silversmithing to help them develop an alternative income to their traditional cash crop of opium. Silversmithing has done much to develop a stable economy for this region. Each design is carefully handcrafted, using high silver content between 97-99% (which is purer than sterling). The themes of their designs reflect the animal, bird and plant life of the region.

All my Jewellery is handmade - using high quality materials. If you do not see anything you like on my pages please email me and I will make up jewellery to your specifications and taste.
