How it began
Oriolo Jewellery was founded in 2014 and based on a love of jewellery and travel. I was lucky enough to have spent my childhood rummaging through jewellery and dressing up boxes full with an eclectic mix of usual treasures and I've carried on collecting such rarities into adulthood. When I travelled I witnessed the crafting of handmade jewellery using highly skilled, inherited techniques.
Making jewellery became a passion of mine when I started taking silversmithing classes in 2011. My work is simple and statement using solid sterling silver and lesser known semi precious gemstones including amazonite, sodalite and obsidian.
Rejuvenating vintage pieces and restoring them to their former glory has become the core of my business. My online collection includes 17th century Yemini wedding rings, 22ct Gold wedding bands, brutalist silver necklaces, Victorian poison rings and Grima style 1970s diamond and gold cocktails rings and much more.
Finding these forgotten pieces a new owner is the final pieces of the puzzle, allowing the original, often little used artistry and techniques to be perpetuated. Equally important is sustainable fashion, extending the life of these precious materials and ensuring that this beautiful jewellery lives on!
You can shop with Oriolo online but you can find our largest offering at the Markets I attend in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk. See where and when you can find us by browsing our calendar here.
Our collections bring together both modern and traditional skills and techniques and we hope to play a part in preserving these techniques in the areas they are made. I strive to build strong and long-lasting relationships with my customers and suppliers and always welcome communication from possible collaborators.
