I have always been someone who’s head has been full of wonderful ideas, who walks along a beach picking up pieces of sea glass and fossils because I can imagine how they look like as a necklace or a pair of earrings but never having the time to do it so they got added to the ever-growing collection.
I left nursing after 20 years to focus on being a mum and to work with my husband but as my girls grew and I wasn’t needed in the day to day running of the business as much, I started making jewellery as a hobby and making things for family and friends. The hobby grew and developed into Laneway Treasures.
Now I am using those ideas to create unique handmade jewellery in my workshop in West Yorkshire between the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation. In a world that is full of plastic I use natural products, genuine sea glass, pearls, fossils, wood, metals, and semi-precious gemstones. Some of my more unusual pieces are made using recycled plastic giving them another life other than landfill.
I thoroughly enjoy making each individual piece and I want you to enjoy wearing it for many years, so each piece is made to last using the strongest and best materials possible without spoiling its aesthetics.
Laneway Treasures jewellery is made for people who want quality at affordable prices but do not want to walk into a room and see other people wearing an identical piece.
