About Clare Garner Jewellery
A lifetime of Creativity
What began as a lifelong love of making became something more the moment Clare discovered silver clay.
Drawn to the almost magical transformation from soft clay to pure silver, Clare fell in love with creating jewellery that felt elegant, personal and beautifully wearable.
Every piece is carefully considered, from weight and balance to how it sits when worn.
How it began
I came across a precious metal clay silver jewellery course and signed up because I was curious. What I didn't expect was to fall completely in love with it. Because here was a material that transformed like magic in front of my eyes, made from 100% recycled silver.
From clay to the purest silver, I had created something so elegant I couldn't wait to wear it. I was bitten by the bug and true to form I kept making and wearing pieces. People would stop and ask where I had got the pieces from. When I explained I had made them, their response was always "how?" Without quite planning it, Clare Garner Jewellery was born.
Elegant Jewellery, thoughtfully designed
Before anything leaves my hands, I've thought about the weight, the hang, the finish. Does it sit right? Does it feel right? is it something I'd reach for every morning without thinking?
Each design is limited to just five pieces because the meaning and purpose behind each magical transformation is important to me.
I think of what I make as designed jewellery. There's thought behind every piece, from the first idea to the final polish, and I won't let something go until it feels right.
Alongside my limited collections, I also create bespoke commissions. I work with you to design meaningful pieces that feel deeply personal.
Making something beautiful should do some good
Giving back has always been part of who I am. Through the love of music and rugby I support many great causes and local charities close to home.
So I have decided that a percentage of every sale will go to support causes close to my heart. It's a small thing, but it matters to me. So, if you like a piece I've made, just know it's made with care and given with purpose.
A link to the charities I am supporting are below. Take a look at their websites to see the awesome work that they undertake.
Great Causes

Through their education, social inclusion and employability programmes, along with our Specialist Services, they help people build confidence, develop essential life skills, and access new opportunities in education, training, or employment. Their vision is empower young minds and enrich lives across generations.
Great Causes
Every day people are diagnosed with a disease that can move fast. Families live with uncertainty and fear, people lose their ability to walk, talk, eat and breathe. For 98% of people living with motor neuron disease (MND) there have been no new treatment options for decades. My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, founded by Doddie Weir, have a clear vision: a world free of MND. They fund the smartest, most efficient MND research. They back bold ideas and bring together the best minds from across the globe. Their goal is simple: faster routes to effective treatments. Because when you’re living with MND, time matters.
Great Causes
Nordoff and Robbins is the UK’s largest music therapy charity with a unique approach shaped by more than 60 years of practice. Through the power of music, it breaks through the barriers caused by life-limiting illness, disability and social isolation. The charity does this through providing music therapy to people across the UK, whilst also training the music therapists of the future and funding research to measure and improve the impact of its work.
Music therapy is the act of supporting people to connect and communicate through music who otherwise are unable to; such as those living with dementia to autism, learning difficulties to brain injuries, life-limiting illnesses to mental health issues, grief and trauma. Nordoff and Robbins music therapists use the power of music to create space for people to express themselves and find connection in society.
