About the maker

Lucy’s comes from the picturesque seaside village of Flushing on the Cornwall coast. She has always had a deep relationship with the natural world around her, which is the source of her inspiration.

Lichen has translated through her designs from the very beginning of her journey as a jeweller. She loves the delicate nature of these little-known organisms, which are one of the bedrocks of the local ecosystem.

More recently, the inspiration for her work has expanded. Ancient monoliths, which are scattered throughout the surrounding countryside, have become a major influence as well as local endangered species. She engraves a range of her jewellery with the names of these vulnerable beings that we share our world with. Her ultimate wish is for her work to spark conversation, helping people to be more mindful of the wild places around them and realise that they are, in fact, part of that world.

About the piece

For collectors, wanderers, and those who fill their pockets with natural treasures found on long walks. 

Each handmade silver brooch is etched with the names of flora and fauna that have sadly made their way onto the IUCN ‘Red List of Threatened Species’.

Lucy’s Talisman Project is about lost words and species on the edge of extinction – wildflowers, birds, kelp forests, sea grass and, of course, lichen. The pieces are to be worn to remind the wearer that we are part of nature, not separate from it, and that we all need to take more care of it.

A donation from the sale of these pieces will go directly to charities supporting wildlife.

Hand-crafted contemporary organic jewellery for people who love wild places. Inspired by and made in Cornwall.


Size: 35 to 55mm long

Materials: eco silver

Hallmarked by the UK Assay Office as proof of authenticity.
