The Twisted Fern Studio

Making Silver Lace

Inspired by lacework patterns dating back to 1836, each piece has been individually designed and hand crafted using antique hand tools and high quality Eco Silver.

A form of crocheting, this process produces a lace-like appearance. Knotting the silver wire in such a way makes the finished product very light, flexible, and durable; a modern reimagining of a timeless heritage craft.

When I sit down to create I usually sketch out my idea then turn the drawings into a geometric pattern, resembling a crochet chart, to bring to life in Silver wire. For more complex designs, I will often create a prototype in cotton to test the pattern. I find it really connects me to the heritage of the craft and makes me appreciate those who paved the way all those hundreds of years ago.

The .999 Fine Silver used to create these unique designs is 100% reclaimed, giving each one a new lease of life as a long lasting piece of wearable art. 

Chains are made in Europe from recycled silver and range from 16" to 20" depending on customer requirement. Ear wires are made in the UK from recycled sterling silver. All other findings are handmade in the studio.

The Twisted Fern Studio is solar powered and working towards zero waste.
