Welcome to Pearlswirl. I’m Jenny and everything you see here is designed and carefully made by me in my flat in the gorgeous (if somewhat windy) Edinburgh.

Making has always been an integral part of my life. If it can be handmade, I have definitely tried to make it. So it felt like a natural step for me to open a shop in high school after learning about Etsy. Not only was running a shop an amazing creative outlet, but I enjoyed being part of such an inspiring community. I became obsessed pretty quickly!

In my shop you’ll find wire-wrapped necklaces and bracelets that combine modern colors with classic elements like pearls and crystals to create beautiful, unique pieces. My design aesthetic evokes a sense of dreamy romance and simple beauty, spiked with just a tad of whimsy.

I like to work with freshwater pearls, crystals, semi-precious stones, and unique charms sourced from flea markets or broken jewelry. As part of my commitment to resourceful, sustainable crafting, I incorporate vintage, second-hand, or repurposed components in my designs whenever possible. Thus, many of my pieces are one-of-a-kind, and all the rest come in very limited batches.

When I’m not busy designing, making, or accidentally spilling beads all over the place, I work in a little independent boutique showcasing work from some of the finest artisans around.
