SHINING BRIGHTLY

On the edge of an ancient woodland, near where the River Trout Beck flows into Lake Windermere, Julie Brockbank shapes delicate silver jewellery. Inspired by the elemental aspects of silver, which link it to the moon and tides, and by the alchemical transformation from dark metal to gleaming treasure, she creates each piece by hand in her garden studio. The simplicity of each design allows its charm to shine out. Little silver star ring £15, www.tillymintsilver.co.uk
