Hannah Louise Lamb

Local Jewellery Designer and Maker

From her studio in North Berwick, Hannah Louise Lamb makes jewellery inspired by place, memory and natural landscapes.

Using traditional silversmithing techniques, Hannah hand-pierces intricate shapes from recycled silver and gold with a fine jeweller’s saw, carefully working each design by hand. It’s a slow and highly skilled process that gives every piece its own character.

Hannah is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and has completed commissions for the Scottish Government, Scottish Opera and the Bodleian Library. She continues to make every piece in her North Berwick studio.

Her Seasons collection captures the familiar signs that mark the changing year, and the memories of place and time that become attached to them.
