About Me

I am Mary Rimmer and I make all the Silver Moonbow jewellery. I live in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with my husband and young daughter. I am a qualified Art Clay Instructor.

I have loved making jewellery since I was a young child when I used to spend hours making bead necklaces, usually to 'sell' to my mother.  I enjoyed creating pieces using beads and polymer clay. In 2010 I came across art clay silver and knew I just had to find out more about this amazing medium.  I booked myself on a beginner course and have never looked back.

I hope you enjoy browsing through the range of jewellery featured.  Every piece I sell is handmade, so no two pieces will ever be the same. What will be a constant is that each piece has been crafted with passion and love.

Making a piece of silver jewellery has many stages: the silver clay is formed or moulded and once dry it is sanded, then kiln fired and polished. It is a time consuming and labour intensive process.  For the fused glass, I hand pick and then cut each piece of glass, then fuse in my kiln - it can take 8 hours from start to finish in the kiln, so it's hard for me to temper my impatience at times.  My resin jewellery range also tests my patience as it takes 24 - 72 hours to 'cure' and harden, so once again it's a long and painstaking process. I have now also started making leather bracelet range using the best quality leather.

Much of my work reflects my love of the sea and the natural world. I am looking to develop new ranges all the time, so do look for updates that will appear here from time to time. I have over the last 6 months started making fused glass and resin pieces, and am currently starting to work with copper, so that will be added soon.

I am a Level One Art Clay Instructor, so I can teach silver clay, and will be running some classes in the near future. 

I'd love to keep in touch with you with news on my new projects and pieces, so please also have a look at and like my Facebook page for Silver Moonbow www.facebook.com/silvermoonbow and find me on twitter @silvermoonbowTW.
