INSPIRATION 53 Silver Lake Jewellery www.silverlakejewellery.co.uk Cumbria-based Silver Lake Jewellery creates bespoke pieces of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. Catherine Allen tells us more about her company: “I always get to know the person, their likes, dislikes and style before I design and make their jewellery. I feel this is crucial in producing the right piece for them. I specialise in recycling unworn jewellery that I turn into a cherished item that you can wear every day. Not only is this kinder to the environment, but it also means that inheritance jewellery can be re-purposed to be enjoyed once more and then passed onto the next generation. I love all styles and genres of jewellery, and I’m always open to the idea of using unusual materials.” Pebelles Boutique Couture Millinery www.pebellesboutique.co.uk Pebelles Boutique Couture Millinery in Lancashire offers a bespoke and specialised service for customers looking for the perfect hat or fascinator. Run by Nicola Mearns, all the pieces are beautifully handmade using couture stitching and traditional millinery techniques. With a degree in art and design, Nicola has turned her passion for art and textiles into a couture millinery business, creating beautiful bespoke headpieces for her clients. She has trained with London based hat designer Katherine Elizabeth, milliner Tracy Chaplin, leading floral designer Svetlana Faulkner, globally renowned Australian milliner Rebecca Share and online with Ian Bennett. Nicola is a member of the British Millinery Association and continues to learn new techniques and grow her skills as a British milliner. Items are made to order to help reduce waste, and where possible, repurposed fabrics from bridal dresses and trimmings are used in her designs. Nicola has won the Inspiring Creative Millinery Challenge 2021 and came in 2nd place in the Mad Hatters Society 2021, judged by haute couture designer Lars Nilsson.
