OUR STORY
WILD GEMS JEWELLERY
​Born amidst the beauty of Scotland, our jewellery journey began with a love for history and a passion for craftsmanship. Each piece of jewellery is a unique creation, crafted from fragments of pottery, stone and gems discovered in the serene Scottish landscape. These buried treasures, are lovingly transformed into stunning handmade jewellery. By giving new life to these forgotten pieces, Wild Gems celebrates the rich heritage of Scotland while creating timeless, wearable art. Every piece tells a story, connecting the past with the present, and allowing you to carry a piece of history with you wherever you go.

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, Kathy meticulously crafts each piece by hand, ensuring that every creation is as unique as the history it embodies. Her work not only showcases her artistic flair but also her dedication to preserving and celebrating Scotland's cultural heritage.
