DEE YOUNG
I’m Dee, the founder of Nature by Day.
I make unique handmade silver jewellery inspired by Nature’s intricate designs and textures.
I work predominately with Silver Metal Clay and combine my creations with some traditional silversmithing techniques which are all self-taught.
After working in luxury retail for over 25 years I now design and hand-make my own work to sell to my own customers which is truly a dream come true.
My main collection is based on seashells because even in silver form shells bring with them their own bit of magic and positive energy and can help the wearer draw what they most desire into their lives. Shells also symbolise love, luck, protection, good fortune and more, so my jewellery makes lovely meaningful gifts.
