Announcement    Welcome!
All the pieces in my shop are skilfully hand crafted in my home in the Scottish Highlands. Please look around my selection of landscape- & element-inspired jewellery. Due to the making process, there will be slight variations between each piece, giving you a truly unique item with every purchase! Most items are ready to ship, but some may need to be made to order and therefore have a short waiting time. If you are in any doubt, please feel free to contact me.

If you are interested in a custom order, do ask! I love new challenges and would be delighted to hear your ideas and work with you.
I try to answer all correspondence in a timely manner and will respond as soon as possible to any enquiries you might have.

All jewellery is sent in a classic simple gift box with an information card.

I live some distance from my nearest Post Office, so will dispatch goods only twice a week.
Royal Mail delivery does not include tracking as standard, so if you'd like to upgrade to shipping with tracking, please let me know. However, please be aware that this can be expensive, especially with international orders.

  • The very beautiful Loch Assynt. Who couldn't be inspired living near here?
  • My local beach... 5 minutes walk away. Only special people know about this one!
  • The fair-weather biker. We do have some good weather here in the Scottish Highlands, but it can't be guaranteed to last
  • Working on a Skinner blend for some Autumn pieces.

Contemporary Scottish polymer jewellery. Elegantly simple and easy to wear.

Assynt Inspirations - Dorell Pirie

'Assynt Inspirations' is a collection of contemporary jewellery designed and developed by me, Dorell, in the very north west Highlands of Scotland, specifically in a tiny little corner called Assynt, which is arguably one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring parts of the world. It is from here that I have absorbed a deep understanding of my surroundings, with both the landscape and the climate giving a never-ending supply of visual and sensory stimulation. You know that old saying, 'four seasons in one day'?, well, I think it originated here!
The pieces I make reflect the colours and moods of my surroundings, but retain the elegance of easy to wear contemporary jewellery.

A lifetime of creating has led me to this point, starting with my time spent at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen where I studied Ceramics. For many years I have been employed as an artist for a successful ceramics company, so every day has been a creative one. As with many 'creative types' though, my spare time away from the day job has also been consumed with the search for more & more things to make and do!

The move to polymer clay was a revelation as I suddenly discovered the possibilities available with this medium I had previously overlooked. Now, the realisation that I have at my disposal a colourful, responsive and durable medium has opened up a whole new world to me which is so exciting!

I am now thrilled to be making for you, my customers, a range which displays simplicity, elegance and originality. The nature of the medium allows the development of myriad colourways with the benefit of delicate detail and great durability. Added to this the items are lightweight and very easy to wear. Whilst I love bold and chunky body adornment (on other people), I want my own pieces to fit in with the wearers' everyday life. Each colourway I have developed encompasses a blend of various shades which will allow the wearer to match one piece of jewellery to many outfits, and will be equally suitable for daytime and evening wear. My aim is to be bold with colour, and subtle with its application and believe this will result in a piece which will make you feel as special and individual as each item you wear.

I am very lucky to have the support and encouragement of my very lovely husband, James, who is willing to tackle many of the technical and IT elements that still mystify me. He patiently attends to my many strange requests as my mind flits about like a distracted butterfly, forever on the search for more beautiful things!
Making this range is giving me the opportunity to work from home on a business that will help support us in our small, and very special, part of the world.
