EMINE THOMPSON/SILVERKUPE - JEWELLER

I established Silverkupe Jewellery after more than two decades of teaching design and 3D modelling. My studio is based in Ouseburn - the trendy and creative heart of Newcastle upon Tyne. I specialise in limited collections of handmade jewellery in silver and gold with bold designs and colours. Since 2017 I have been crafting my art-jewellery, and merging the essence of traditional methods with a flair for innovative techniques.  I combine silversmithing, metal clay, wax carving, enamelling and 3D printing methods to bring my visions to life. I like exploring form, texture, and colour in my designs. 

I am committed to sustainability, my pieces are created by using recycled gold and silver. I also use eco-packaging to push my sustainability ethos, a deliberate choice I have made quite early on in her jewellery journey.
