Meet anna
My jewellery is inspired by my passions and hobbies. I spend a lot of time in the Mountains or beaches enjoying the different views and textures and I hope this comes across in my designs. (My logo is the wonderful Pen y Fan and Corn Du.)
The bubbles range came to me whilst swimming in the sea and watching my bubbles move through the water. I am working on a Mountain range that will do justice to some of the best silhouettes we have and the Seren range is a tribute to my darling dog Poppy who was the best hiking companion I could ask for and is sorely missed. Hence the name of the jewellery brand Seren Popi which is Welsh for "Poppy's star".
