Welcome to Silver and Sparkle.

- a range of unique, contemporary silver jewellery, spoons and bowls all designed and handmade by Diana Lambert.

Welcome to my website!

Firstly a little bit about myself.
After a 20+ year career in IT management, I made an important life-change a few years ago so that I could concentrate on a more creative career.

Over the years, I have studied jewellery making part-time at the Yorkshire Craft Centre, but I am primarily self taught. I have developed my own style and range of designs. The jewellery is, for the most part, made using sterling silver, copper, and quality glass beads. 

I have also attended intensive Silversmithing courses at West Dean College, West Sussex and am currently expanding my skills and knowledge in this area.

At this point I am meant to say something 'arty' about my sources of inspiration etc. That's the bit I find tricky as I'm really not sure where my ideas come from! But as I do quite a lot of walking in my local woods, in the Yorkshire Dales and along the coast, I'm sure that must have a significant influence. I also love the designs of the Art Nouveau movement and that certainly influences the design of my silver spoons. 

I sell my work at art galleries, retail fairs, markets and other events and well as via this website. You can see where I am exhibiting during the coming months by looking at the forthcoming events list.

I welcome taking on specific commissions within my existing ranges. I can also do jewellery parties for small gatherings, and these can be fitted in with themed events.

On this website you will find photo galleries of the jewellery and silver objects that I make, along with their prices, and some information about how to place and order. There is also information about the events I will be exhibiting at, as well as details of how to book a jewellery party.

I hope you enjoy your visit.
