We are sorry to tell you that Carol James, the wonderfully talented jeweller behind Silverfish Designs passed away on 3rd July this year. She battled cancer bravely and determindly.
Carol was incredibly artistic, and combined her love of archeology and nature so well with her skills in jewellery making. A fabulous gardener, enlightening chef, and an all round lovely person, much missed by many.
Carol has left her sister, Anna, in charge of her business. In time, there will be a new online place to buy her fabulous creations, but there’s a lot Anna and her husband Chris need to work through before that’s ready. Her current website is live, and orders can be placed on there in the interim. There is also chatter about some special exhibitions too, relating to the incredible rock art that so inspired her, but it’s too early to say anymore about those
If you are local, and wish to see her lovely collection, it will be on show as part of H Art, from Saturday 7th to Sunday 15th September. Her work will be exhibited alongside 12 other local artists, all friends of hers, at the old Posterity barns, between British Camp and Ledbury, just before the turning for Eastnor Castle. The space will be open 11-5 each day.
Please come and say hello, it’s heartening to see folk wearing her jewellery!
Love Anna, Carols sister x
BTW, if you need to reach Anna about anything to do with Carols business please email annamakesbeasts.co.uk. Please note, I cannot undertake repairs or alterations, I’m sorry.
