Holly Clover Jewellery

Wax Seal Silver Jewellery

Welcome

I am Holly Clover, a Cambridge based jewellery artist. I make silver and gold jewellery by hand in my workshop using traditional techniques.  If you love timeless jewellery that’s rooted in history, you’re in the right place!  Future heirlooms to be cherished for generations.

Legacy In Silver

“Drawing on ancestral wax seals created by her grandfather, Holly creates jewellery that weaves together heritage and contemporary design. Her pictorial, meaningful pieces carry quiet stories – echoes of the past cast into modern silver forms.”
Creative Therapy Space

I specialise in wax seal jewellery using an amazing cabinet of seals I inherited from my grandfather, a master engraver.  I recreate them in precious metals and they feature countryside animals, mythical creatures, memento mori and mottos.  I combine them with hammered silver jewellery, bangles, rings and sand cast signet rings.

Coming from a very artistic background, my grandfather was an engraver, my father is a graphic designer, potter and artist and my son is a photographer, I have continued this tradition.  I studied art at A-level and History of Art, Design and Film at university followed by a master’s degree in Victorian Studies.

My Story

I have always loved and collected jewellery for as long as I can remember.  I started making jewellery when I was a child for my Mum and later for friends and family. I made jewellery with glass beads and semi-precious stones and ran a stall at school craft fairs and exhibited at Mill Road Winter Fair in Cambridge.

Training in silversmithing started at White House Arts more than twenty years ago.  I rediscovered my love of silversmithing in recent years.

I have exhibited at the SHINE and PRESENT shows at St Peter’s Church in Cambridge as part of The Makers Collective and have been selling my jewellery on Etsy.
