Claire Troughton is based in Chester, North West
Claire Troughton produces stunning jewellery collections celebrating the sculptural plants and tiny creatures of the great British countryside. She is fascinated by capturing a tiny snap-shot of life before the beauty of the moment fades and presenting it in more durable form. Through the use of predominantly silver, with touches of gold, a distinctive style has been created.
