About Ravello Designs

Ravello Designs

Individual, contemporary, handcrafted silver jewellery

All my jewellery is handcrafted in my workshop on the edge of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. I love to work with silver, copper and beads – together and separately – creating unique a range of jewellery, from casual pieces for every day to elegant items for that special occasion.

The pieces in my silver range are formed from sterling silver, using traditional silversmithing tools and techniques. Each piece is individually handmade and, therefore, unique. All silver items weighing over 7.78 grams are hallmarked at the London Assay Office. Where beads or stones are an integral part of the design, these are either Swarovski Crystal beads or pearls, David Christensen cane glass beads, semi-precious stones or freshwater pearls.

In my bead creations, I use mainly Swarovski Crystals and Czech and Japanese glass beads, because of their consistent quality, but I also like to incorporate more unusual beads and pendants, whether to create a focal point or simply complement the overall design. There are so many beautiful beads to inspire a whole range of jewellery styles! Metal components are carefully chosen to complement the beads, the current emphasis being on silver, antique silver and antique copper. Most of the silver used in these ‘costume’ items is silver-plated.

Please browse my shop and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Payment Options:
I accept payment by PayPal only, as this is a secure and convenient method for you and for me. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can still pay by credit card through PayPal's Guest Checkout facility.

Postage/Shipping:
I aim to despatch all orders within 3 working days of the payment being cleared and will confirm when your order has been posted.

Each item of jewellery comes in an organza bag and/or gift box as standard and will be carefully packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. In an attempt to keep postage costs as low as possible, I use the smallest gift box into which the jewellery sits comfortably and lightweight envelopes.

All items are sent via Royal Mail, which stipulates different services according to the value of the item being sent, i.e. for compensation purposes. Therefore, for your peace of mind and mine, my postal rates reflect these requirements and charges.
