Beautiful and unique handmade silver jewellery - pieces available and commission orders taken. I've seen her work in real life and it is absolutely the most gorgeous jewellery. Go and visit her site and see if you can resist!
"I like to consider myself an artist who makes jewellery. I design and make each piece by hand from Sterling silver or gold sheet metal and wire using traditional methods, nothing is cast. Most of my inspiration derives from nature, abstracting its forms and patterns." (From the site)

Patricia Hilton-Robinson - Hand Engraved Glass
This extraordinarily talented lady is my mother-in-law and the engraved glass she creates is out of this world. She teaches the craft and is an Associate Fellow of the Guild of Glass Engravers, an organisation which she also chaired. Patricia has exhibited in many places including the Victoria and Albert Museum. She takes commissions and among her most popular items are the engraved wedding glasses which make a unique momento of your big day or a thoughtful and unusual gift for the happy couple. You can see my own and the Husbeast's glasses in the gallery.
The plate in the picture was engraved from photos taken at The Hawk Conservancy in Hampshire and features Marmite the owl, who was also the inspiration for the original 'Wise Owls' hat, which was a gift for Patricia.
Her site is more than worth a visit just to browse the photos of Patricia's work, but while you're there why not comission a piece or even book a course?
