Intricate, fine jewellery designed & made by Abi Cochran
Hello I'm Abi, I design and make jewellery at the edge of the fens near Cambridge, England.
I’m currently obsessed with weather-worn textures. I love the fine details found in burnt wood, split pieces of ply, microscopic lichens. . . they often resemble fantastic miniature landscapes - both challenging and fun to try and reproduce in jewellery form!
My grandmother Catherine ‘Casty’ Cobb was a Silversmith,
she taught me and many others in Cambridge for several decades until she was in her 90s, encouraging and inspiring until just a few weeks before she died.
Before she became a teacher, she had a successful career as a designer maker, enjoyed working as a puppeteer assistant with William Simmonds, and for several years travelled the world as an artist examiner.
I live close to Fulbourn Fen a nature reserve on the edge of Cambridge, England.
It’s an endless source of inspiration as well as a place to recharge, stretch my back at the end of long days at the workbench.
I use ethically sourced materials whenever possible.
I often recycle old gemstones and

I take on custom orders
Take a look at a few of my custom made pieces here.
Follow me on Instagram where I post new work and as well as photos of random things that inspire me.
I have a few collections made in sterling silver, often with gold details, precious and semi-precious gems:
Circles - A new collection of round forms, inspired my raindrops falling in water. Simple, easy to wear studs and pendants. I’m hoping this collection will grow into more complex combinations of shapes and gems.
Ebb & Flow - Inspired by the rippling patterns at the edge of a calm sea.
Textured - Rough organic pieces, resembling the textures found in rocky landscapes, burnt wood, weather worn stone.
My Wings are popular gifts - delicate fluid patterns inspired by dragonfly wings in easy to wear earrings and pendants.
Landscapes - Etched, oxidised coastal scenes embellished with gold leaf.
Botanicals - Inspired by lichens and plants seen in Fulbourn Fen.
My work is sold online on Etsy throughout the year - SilverSpiralsShop
