The Siller and Gowd Story

Thanks for coming to find out more about Siller and Gowd Jewellery. I'm Angali, S&G's designer, maker, packer and poster - all happening from my little workshop just outside York.

Born and brought up in the North East of Scotland, (hence Siller and Gowd which means Silver and Gold in my local Scottish dialect) the daughter of a carpenter, this is where my creativity was sparked! I loved watching my dad create beautiful things out of wood, fascinated by his tools and in awe of his attention to detail. Whilst all my friends at school took office studies, I took 'craft and design' and loved the designing and making process. There's still a forged candlestick made by 14 year old me lurking somewhere in my parent's house!

Fast forward a 'few' years; a move to Yorkshire, a husband, kids, cats, a fulfilling and happy career as a primary school teacher and many other joyous life fillers, I wanted to get back to making and creating. I love (slow) fashion and I LOVE accessories, always happy to build an outfit around a good statement necklace, fabulous shoes or an amazing bag - so I took up a weekly class in traditional jewellery-making skills and a fire was lit! Fast forward another few years, a diploma in silversmithing and with lots of support from brilliant family and friends, I decided it was time to make my love for creating beautiful, timeless jewellery into more than a hobby, and so Siller and Gowd was born.
