Having created in a variety of artistic media for a lifetime, an Art History degree and interior design background inspired S. A. Macfarlane (SAM) to train in silverwork. This training was the motivation for an extensive range of unique, handmade silver jewellery.
Commissions are undertaken for a wide variety of jewellery, designing for the client is always rewarding; small and unusual requests are encouraged. All types of commission are undertaken including Wedding and Engagement rings.
Sterling silver designs involving semi-precious stones, quotes from literature, diachronic glass and the alchemy that is silver clay (PMC+) are a perfect fusion between creative design and skilled craftsmanship.
As a designer-maker SAM is inspired by the world around her and carries her camera everywhere. Many years living in rural Scotland enabled access to some of the world's most beautiful mountains, forests and beaches. It is this wonderful backdrop that helps SAM to carefully consider all commissions providing designs that reflect the personal wishes of each client.
These interests in nature and landscape are juxtaposed with a fascination for the geometry often found in modern art and architecture. Texture, shape, and wearability are the focus of Lucklaw Silver's pieces.
