Story

THE DESIGNER

Marie Walshe is the creative director and head goldsmith of her brand Sorrel Bay Fine Jewellery,  named after her beautiful daughter. A goldsmith for over 20 years, designing and hand crafting jewellery has been one of her passion since she was a young girl. Her love of the natural world and ancient civilisations is reflected in her work. Her love of geology, gemmology and alchemy along with a deep connection to Mother Nature has influenced her Sacred Stones Collections.

Her talismans and amulets that you find here represent her understanding, respect and affinity with the elements of the earth, fire and water that combine to create her materials of gold and gemstones.

She hand crafts her pieces in her studio and has a small team of skilled craftspeople that help bring the collections alive. She oversees every single piece in her UK studios and when she is not at the bench, you will find her offering sacred movement and sound, offering world wide retreats that delve deep into soul work. Aligning the sacred self and creating these talismans blend her offerings beautifully and deepen our connection with our souls purpose.

It is important to her that each piece is made using the skill, technique and craftsmanship handed through generations that essentially began with early mankind. Her passion for the planet and its offerings have ensured that we use fair trade gold and recycled gold and we work hard on our relationships with mines and gemstone dealers to ensure that our pieces are as ethical as is possible. 

Sorrel Bay Fine Jewellery is a collection of timeless luxury contemporary jewellery lovingly hand crafted to be treasured and worn everyday. Each piece is one-of-a-kind or part of a limited edition collection, as each gemstone is carefully selected for its outstanding beauty for each individual piece.

Hand crafted by Marie and her small team of skilled goldsmiths in our UK studios, no two pieces are, or can be, alike. 

'Each piece is respectfully created in great homage to its origins within the earth.'
