    Product description

    The heart of our jewellery is the slate which is sourced from the Lake District of Cumbria which is close to us and visible across the Solway on a clear day - there is no slate being quarried in Scotland at the moment.  The jewellery is handmade from raw cut slate to finished pieces in our small workshop in southwest Scotland.

    The different quarries in the Lake District that we buy from produce dark (black) through to green (often naturally patterned) and silver-grey slates.  Our ranges use these different hues and qualities of the slates.  The slates we use are:

    *  Black : sedimentary slate laid down in the oceanic period about 300 - 350 million years ago
    *  Green : slate formed from volcanic ash about 450 million years ago -  sometimes with patterns from different periods of eruption
    *  Silver-grey : volcanic slate formed approx. 400 million years ago

    Once we have polished the slate to a smooth, tactile finish with a soft lustre, we cut and inlay individual pieces with silver (sometimes bronze - to give a rose-gold colour) to enhance and accentuate these natural patterns and colour hues of the slate.

    The jewellery we make is surprisingly lightweight but strong and easy to wear.  The ranges start with small pendants and earrings through to stylish and dramatic necklaces and bracelets. Supplied with box.

    Background Information about Slate & Silver

    Strong and durable, yet still lightweight and delicate, Slate and Silver create unique and dramatic pieces of wearable art out of the underused medium of slate. Sourced from the lake district and hand-cut in the Southwest of Scotland, Slate and Silver play with the different forms of slate to create strikingly different designs across their entire collection.

    Whether a bold piece from volcanic green slate to striking blacks and silvers, each piece of jewellery is entirely natural and entirely one of a kind. Once polished to a soft lustre, the slate is then inlaid with silver or bronze to enhance the visuals of the slate itself, creating wearable art that accentuates the patterns and hues of this ancient material. Perfect for both the everyday and special occasions, Slate and Silver provide fantastic handmade slate jewellery that rivals even the best gemstones.
