About Natalie
My name is Natalie, Erinna Jewellery’s owner, designer and maker! I hand make all of my jewellery in my studio based in Bristol in the UK using traditional smithing methods and the ancient technique of lost wax casting, I also play around with a few other techniques. I love Greek mythology and my designs are all named after and inspired by the myths. I started Erinna Jewellery to escape from my everyday life. As something to bring me joy, follow my dream and enjoy each day because we only live once. I’ve always loved jewellery because it has so many meanings and can create powerful feelings like love, confidence, happiness and so much more. I believe that everyone deserves to have things that they love and I’m passionate about my creations being inclusive, accessible and long-lasting quality. My business is just over a year old now and I have learnt so much, thanks to Jewellers Academy and a few other amazing people, and I still have a lot to learn!
