Made by Gillian

Made by Gillian Bluegrass Designs is my design company concentrating on creating affordable contemporary jewellery pieces for both adults and children. Welcome to my page.

I am a fully qualified silversmith, graduating from Loughborough university in 2012 with BA(hons). The name Bluegrass Designs comes from my love of the 1950's and music. Bluegrass is a musical movement that generates from that era and I thought it would be a perfect name for my designs. I do not, however, use this name when I am exhibiting my pieces, so if you're out at galleries and see work by

'Gillian Hawkes' then that will be by myself also. I do do bespoke pieces, commissions and repairs, so there is no need to throw out that beloved item of jewellery you may have due to a break. Thanks for visiting my page and cannot wait to hear from you all soon.

Saw my consultant today and she confirmed I will be having surgery on the 23rd December (lazy crimbo for me) and after a long rehabilitation period (approximately a year) I'll have full use of my hand. It's a long process but I cannot wait to have stable joints, no more arthritis and most importantly pain free. 😄👍🏻
A big thank you (again) for all of your support and here's to the future 💕

My hand is almost too bad to use atm, so my 8 year old daughter decided to help me make Christmas baked goods. She did most of this herself and I'm so proud ☺️🍪 cannot wait to eat them later also 😆

One of my commissions finished before I pop off on leave... The customer asked for a bracelet that represented her love for her family - I hope you all like it ☺️❤️

Hello all - it's with great sadness that I write this, but due to unforeseen circumstances I will not be takin anymore orders on for the foreseeable future. I've had a bad hand for years and over the past few months I've had to seek the advice of specialist. I got my results yesterday and I've been told I need surgery ASAP, my hand will be in plaster for 6 weeks after and I will need a lot of Physio afterwards. Then after that I hope to be at a stage to start making again. I will keep updating my page so you know I'm still around, however, I've been told I need to take it easy until my surgery and not use my hand as much. Thanks all again for all of your support - next task is to teach my husband how to cook 😁😄👍🏻
