Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I am the designer, maker and silver clay tutor behind Rebecca Oxenham Jewellery.

 

I set up Rebecca Oxenham Jewellery back in 2020 after being made redundant from my job. At the time I was off work ill with what I was told was a viral infection which then later was diagnosed as Long Covid which caused me chronic fatigue. Unable to work full time I decided to turn what had been my hobby and side hustle into my business.  This was a difficult time for me, not only because of my poor health with an unknown illness but because the country was in chaos with the pandemic.  Making jewellery and being in nature was my therapy. I have since made a full and moved to Cornwall in 2024 and have never looked back. I love nothing more to be out walking my dog (Milo) on the beautiful Cornish beaches and in the surrounding countryside close to my home in Tywardreath near Fowey.  

​

I love to share my passion for jewellery making so I extended what I do to run regular beginners’ silver clay and silversmithing jewellery making workshops and experience days late in 2020. I also designed a beautiful kit for people to make their own jewellery using silver clay at home which has been a best seller and featured on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Channel 4. ⁠ 

​

In addition to my self learning I studied for my Art Clay Diploma level 1 and 2 Certification in Silver Clay (an eco-friendly way to make fine silver jewellery). This is a world-wide, recognised qualification, administered by the official distributors of Art Clay in Europe. I am also an instructor member of AMCAW (Association of Metal Clay Artists Worldwide) and I am a member of GOJD (Guild of Jewellery Designers) and ACJ (Association of Contemporary Jewellers).

​

Every piece of jewellery is lovingly handcrafted using recycled silver.  It is important to me that my impact upon the environment from which I draw my inspiration is not overly impacted by my actions. Therefore, alongside using recycled precious metals and responsibly sourced gemstones, my packaging is also eco-friendly.

​

​Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and I would be only to pleased to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions, or just want to talk about jewellery.
