The Secret Garden collection 2020

Katherine Bree August 7, 2020

When I was a child, I remember reading "the Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It captured my imagination and entered my dreams.

The magic of finding an overgrown secret garden behind a hidden doorway became reality when I was taken to the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall…

Hello and welcome to my website. I am an established and self taught jewellery designer. Originally I trained in textile design and worked as a knitwear designer for several years. I enjoy experimenting with colour and sourcing unusual semi-precious stones for my designs.

Inspired by sunlight filtered through autumn leaves, this delicate bracelet is created with little faceted Carnelian beads and nuggets of Amethyst, Citrine, Chrome Diopside, Tiger Eye, and Garnet. £45 on katherinebree.com My newsletter subscribers get 15% off bracelets this month.

I came across these delicate pink succulents clinging to a vast granite tor in Dartmoor. #designinspᴏ #jewellerydesigning #designinnature #dartmoortors #naturalstone

The Lake Isle of Innisfree I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. excerpt by William Butler Yeats
