Hello & Welcome
Hello, I’m Wendy Penrose, an award-winning goldsmith creating modern, nature-inspired fine jewellery.
I have over twenty years of experience designing and making bespoke jewellery for people who want something personal and well made. Each piece is handcrafted by me and designed to reflect the individual it’s made for.
My Work and Approach
I work from my workshop in the Oxfordshire countryside near Henley-on-Thames, using traditional goldsmithing techniques to create bespoke jewellery in recycled precious metals and ethically sourced gemstones.
My work includes engagement rings, wedding rings and one-off pieces, as well as remodelling inherited or unworn jewellery into new designs. I work closely with clients throughout the process, offering clear, practical advice and taking time to understand how a piece will be worn and enjoyed.
Jewellery often marks important moments in people’s lives, and I take that responsibility seriously. Many of my clients return over the years, and I’m proud to have built long-standing relationships through my work.
Craft, Sustainability and Recognition
All jewellery is handcrafted by me, from the initial design through to the finished piece. I enjoy the practical process of making turning an idea into something tangible that can be worn every day.
Sustainability is an important part of how I work. I use recycled precious metals wherever possible, source gemstones ethically and often repurpose existing stones in remodelling projects.
I was honoured to be voted Best Jeweller – Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire in the Muddy Stilettos Awards, an award that means a great deal to me as it was voted for by my customers. I’m also a member of the Guild of Jewellery Designers, bringing over two decades of professional experience to every bespoke piece I make.
Inspiration: Where Art Meets Nature.
From Concept to Creation.
I’ve always had an interest in nature, modern design and making things by hand. My background includes studying art at Central Saint Martins and a degree in biology, which has shaped how I look at form, structure and detail.
I’m not interested in perfect symmetry or geometric shapes. I prefer flowing organic forms; designs, shaped by coastal landscapes, sea and stone. Organic, sculptural, made to be worn.
