Becca Williams is a West Midlands based designer whose work is, surprisingly for someone working in landlocked Birmingham, influenced by the seaside.

I’m always on the look out for jewellery that’s a bit different, so I was pleased to come across Abbott and Ellwood’s brooches and necklaces. Their quirky pieces certainly have an individual style. All their jewellery is hand made in Cornwall. This dog and bone brooch is one such example, it’s a brooch with a [...]
