Honey & Wilde

Who we are

Hi. I’m Olivia – designer/maker and the face behind Honey & Wilde.

My story has always involved creativity and in 2020 I set out to learn a new creative process – Silversmithing. Since then, I have taught myself to saw and solder, pickle and polish, plus every step in between.

Using recycled metals & responsibly sourced materials, I create delicate jewellery pieces that blend natural organic textures with minimalist shapes. The process of silversmithing has allowed me to not only express myself artistically, but also to explore new techniques and push my creative boundaries. All my jewellery is made by hand and, I hope, it will be enjoyed and cherished anywhere life takes you. You can find me creating, making & drinking copious cups of tea, in my cosy home studio or little summer shed, at all hours of the day.

As well as jewellery making, I have a long love affair with print & pattern design. In 2004 I began studying Fine Art at Stourbridge Art College. Here I discovered a passion for surface applications & repeat patterns for paper goods, children’s wear and interiors. I then went on to study Mixed-media Textiles and Surface Pattern at University.

Originally from Staffordshire/Worcestershire, I now live in a little village in Derbyshire with my husband James and two cheeky cats, Nova & Mabel.
