Lottie grew up in the world of jewellery and for this reason every piece she creates is born from a real passion for her craft. Living above her family’s jewellery workshop, The Goldsmithy in Broadway, from a young age Lottie has been fascinated by designing and making jewellery. Lottie’s mum is also a gemmologist and that inspired her love of sourcing unique stones which can be made into delicate, contemporary pieces of jewellery to be treasured.
Today Lottie works from her family workshop at The Goldsmithy, where each piece of striking, feminine jewellery is designed, made and finished. She loves making pieces which are personal and is always happy to take on commissions and design pieces to fit each customer’s brief and budget.

Describing the art of jewellery as the perfect combination of art and science, Lorna Grace breathes new life into the world of jewellery design.
She’s not only professionally trained in silversmithing and jewellery but her curiosity for the natural world encouraged her to also study diamond grading and gemmology. This allows Lorna to identify high quality diamonds and gemstones to use in her pieces and also take great care in sourcing only sustainably-mined gemstones and Fairtrade or eco silver and gold.
Each of her collections is inspired by the world we live in, from human culture to natural history. Lorna designs, crafts and finishes every single piece of jewellery using techniques that descend from thousands of years of artisan jewellery craft, and her love and concern for the environment remains at the forefront of her work.
From the materials used to make the jewellery, to posting your gifts, every step of the way is ethically sourced. Discover Lorna Grace's collections here.
