Durie Design is a range of jewellery handmade in silver and resin by Lynn Durie.

Always looking for a creative outlet that she could totally immerse herself in, she enrolled in a local jewellery making course in precious metals in 2004 and instantly knew it was for her. After a year or so of evening classes, Cormac Cuffe had given her a great platform to spring from and with much experimenting at home and some short courses in Birmingham School of Jewellery she finally began to create what she feels is something a little different.

“Colour is hugely pleasing to me in my work and I have found that resin is a great medium to merge with sterling silver to really create a stunning contrast. Like silver it is also durable with longevity. New types of resin and new techniques are emerging constantly and it is a very exciting, modern and versatile medium to work in today. Plastics have traditionally not been seen as more than a cheap, throwaway, mass-produced material but when you handcraft it, it becomes a wonderful medium that has endless possibilities for unique, bespoke jewellery”.

She has mostly worked on a commission basis to date for people looking for individual pieces that incorporate something unique from their personality or lifestyle.
