About Us

Since starting STERLINGWOOD Designs, I've have been offering a wide variety of bespoke jewellery made from sterling silver, native and exotic woods from around the world. Also, I make more traditionally wood turned items such as bowls, vases, boxes, platters, pens and much more besides.

Living in the small village of Semington, Wiltshire, giving me access to some great woodlands which include the Longleat and Bowood estates. We use their woods which are felled through their own woodland management plans, which are then milled, kiln dried and ready for turning.

I’m lucky enough to be now sharing studios 6 & 7 at the Tithbarn workshops, Bradford-on-Avon also in Wiltshire. Working alongside the very talented wildlife artist Jacqueline Byrne and also my trusted welsh terrier Freddie.All contact details can be found online at www.jacquelinebyrnepainting.com with all information and links to her Etsy shop.

​Some native woods that are used in both our traditionally turned pieces and a variety of our jewellery pieces range from yew, oak, sycamore, walnut, box, ash, London plain, and spalted beech or birch. The exotic woods used for our jewellery but not limited to range from ebony, red and black palm, cocobolo, padauk, purple heart and zebrano wood. All of the woods here have their very own striking colours, grain, patterns and touch making them stand out and offer something different for everyone.

​​The exotic woods selection that we use from around the world are supplied by licensed exotic wood dealers, so this ensures that none of the woods we use in our products are from any endangered species currently listed on the CITES website (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) list. For more information follow this link https://cites.org

​My commitment to the environment is using sustainable and reclaimed woods where possible. For every piece purchased from me, I will donate £1 which will go to the woodland trust plant a tree scheme. For more information, please follow the link here www.woodlandtrust.org.uk​
