It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to my ready to wear line of everyday jewellery. Contemporary jewellery gifts, handmade in the Cotswolds, from recycled precious metals. This years collection is light and wearable, with a particular interest in being durable and hair-safe, that don’t catch on clothes.
Made out of recycled sterling silver and gold. Never filled, rolled or plated. All made by me, Samantha Steele in my petite studio. If you would like to see my work in action, follow along on my socials. Check out the makes and mends, and what I call my #benchlife on Facebook and Instagram @samanthasteelejewellery


Meet the Jeweller
I am a self taught jeweller from Gloucestershire in the UK. I have been working with precious metals since 2020 following the death of my beloved father, and the covid 19 pandemic changed my life and career.
I set about learning metal smithing skills after a failed fix in a friends garage, using a blowtorch on a broken earring. That was enough to start my research and finding out just how much there was to the process. With the vast resources online and the guidance found on YouTube! I was able to fettle-fix and repair my own jewellery without burning the house down. Working with fire and hammers I have made a space to be creative, to compliment my love of the earth and all of its treasures.
Ideas for collections can come from anywhere. Concept designing around a particular or unusual stone is an incredibly satisfying part of making my own original jewellery pieces; Stones in both semi-precious forms like quarts and The precious 4 (diamonds, emeralds, rubies and my personal favourites sapphires), using reclaimed or ‘estate’ stones wherever possible.
People and the planet are important to me. My primary goal is to work sustainably, for the ethical consumer and all of our inner treasure hunters. I have come from a retail background heavily influenced by people power: the difference every single person can make. From fair trade commitments, to recycling admin staples and everything in between!
Remake Reuse Recycle
It is my mission to use exclusively recycled metals and to take the time to do this myself in my petit atelier- my little studio.
Starting with broken or unworn precious metals, to be broken down, fired and melted into its most basic form and remade.
Bringing a new, ethical and sustainable method to jewellery creation. This process is slow and focuses on using existing mined metals, reducing the environmental impact of my jewellery.
Recycle your own unloved jewellery into new works to be worn again. Precious family metals can be remade, redesigned. Giving a second story to heirlooms of the past, sentimental treasures, and become heirlooms of the future.
Precious metals will often carry hallmarks and makers marks to indicate what they are made of, when, and by whom. Feel free to get in touch if you need help identifying precious metals to use in your bespoke projects.
