SILVER CLAY JEWELLERY ARTIST
Rachel Harding
Hi, I’m Rachel — the maker behind The Silver Clay Collection. I am a qualified silver clay jewellery artist.
From my workshop in Berkshire, I create handcrafted silver jewellery inspired by the natural world: delicate leaves, organic textures, flowers, and the quiet beauty found outdoors. Each piece is designed to be simple, wearable, and meaningful — a small reminder to keep nature close.
As a mum of four, a wife, and someone who deeply values mental wellbeing, I’ve always found comfort in nature. Whether it’s a walk through the woods, time spent in the garden, or simply noticing the details around us, nature has a way of grounding and restoring us, especially during difficult seasons of life.
Having experienced my own struggles with mental health in the past, I know how important it is to find moments of calm and connection in everyday life.
Using silver clay and traditional silversmithing techniques, each piece of jewellery I make is carefully handcrafted with intention and attention to detail. I love creating bespoke pieces, designed to hold personal meaning and be treasured for years to come. As you would expect from a lover of nature and our beautiful planet, every piece of jewellery I make is made from 100% recycled silver.
My hope is that these pieces become more than jewellery and that they also serve as gentle reminders to slow down, breathe deeply, and stay connected to the beauty of the world around us.
I hold the highly regarded Art Clay Diplomas (Levels 1 and 2) and am in the final term of the Jewellers Academy Diploma in Silver Metal Clay.
