Founder Stories

Kathleen Appleyard Jewellery

Up on the top floor of her Victorian home in Exeter, jeweller Kathleen Appleyard works from a peaceful studio that looks out across the river.

Kathleen’s journey into jewellery wasn’t rushed. It unfolded over years, with moments of clarity, a much-loved necklace, and a decision to step away from teaching and turn towards making.

Here, she shares what drew her back to the work she always wanted to do.
