We at Iris Linnet love stories in all forms, but particularly books. A lot of pieces are inspired by our favourite tales, and are designed to be divided into themed collections.

Nature is a huge inspiration, with a lot of the pieces being perfect gifts for nature lovers.

If you are looking for a gift for a friend who loves Jane Austin, why not pick a flower from her garden (we know some of the things she grew through letters she wrote).

Lovers of the sea might appreciate a teeny sailing boat, each of these is a unique piece, with the sails swept into unique shapes by the wind.

There are some classic gemstone options, and some more unusual stones. We can’t resist gems in all forms and have a magpie’s collection of gorgeous colours and styles. More will be added to the collection over time.

These delicate pieces are designed to be stacked and combined in different ways, to create your own unique look, as well as to make perfect gifts.

What pieces would you like to see, inspired by your favourite stories?

The Iris Linnet range is focussed on creating dainty necklaces for everyday wear. All pieces are made with solid precious metals, most of it recycled, and natural gemstones.

Some of the stones are traceable/ethically mined. The range of unique stone set necklaces provides a home for the gorgeous stones Nikki comes across in various places and can’t resist.

Inspiration for the designs comes from a variety of courses, but most strongly from nature, with flowers, bees and beatles alongside sailing boats.

Nikki has been making jewellery for over 20 years. She makes all her pieces in her tiny spare room, and when not making jewellery is normally found drinking tea and reading a book.
