About me
Hi, I’m Dee. I make unique handmade silver jewellery using Silver Metal Clay and traditional silversmithing techniques.
After working in luxury retail for over 25 years I always dreamed of one day being able to share my own designs and creations with my own precious customers.
I started making jewellery in 2016 after my sister bought me a Metal Clay course for Christmas. I immediately fell in love with this fascinating medium and knew then that I had found a way to realise my dreams.
Since then, I've been developing my skills and learning techniques to design and produce my own collection of beautiful nature inspired jewellery. Silver Clay is 99.9% pure silver which is made from 100% recycled silver. It is the perfect medium for capturing every intricate detail that Mother Nature puts into her gorgeous designs. I make every item so that every piece is unique in its own little way.
All the findings and other components I use to make my finished pieces are made from Sterling Silver.
More about Nature by Day
I especially love working with seashells – you will see that they dominate my collection! I'm passionate about them; not only because they are among some of the most remarkable designs found in nature, but also because of their spiritual meanings and symbolisation. Shells are linked with feminine energy - used to draw the things you desire into your life. Each shell or a piece of nature in my collection is a symbol of something so my jewellery makes truly meaningful gifts.
I make everything in my lovely home in the Herefordshire countryside that I share with my Scottish husband Ken and my rescue dog Tahira.
My passion is creating and making commissions; personalised designs just for you. There is nothing more gratifying and humbling for me than to make that special piece of jewellery that you can treasure forever. Did you find a shell on a special holiday or on your honeymoon that you'd love made into silver? Does a loved one have a special plant or flower that could be turned into a permanent piece to wear? If so, I'd be delighted to create that special piece, unique to you.
If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me or if you simply have a question about my jewellery please email me at: deeyoung@naturebyday.com.
The extra touches
All my jewellery is beautifully gift wrapped in my eco-friendly, branded gift boxes tied with pretty ribbon. They make perfect gifts for every occasion (or just a treat for yourself)!
If you’d like me to send something directly to a friend or loved one, I'm also happy to add a handwritten note for that extra special finishing touch.
I welcome orders from all over the world.
Happy browsing and shopping.

Love and sparkle,
Dee.
