Linda Macdonald
Linda Macdonald is a Scottish jewellery designer, creating from her studio near Loch Lomond. Her jewellery is inspired by romance and the delicate detail in nature.
“I was always creative as I grew up, with inspiration all around me in the form of textiles. My father worked for a thread company, my mother was and is a keen seamstress with a beautiful embroidery hobby. My creativity started with fabrics and wool. This quickly turned to sketching our stunning surroundings in Cardross, Scotland where I grew up. Our village is a beautiful place set in the country with plenty of walks, woods and wildlife around – it is an inspiring place to live.”
Linda’s pieces feature delicate floral designs in silver, with details picked out in gold. Traditional techniques of hand piercing and flame torch soldering are used to produce necklaces, earrings, rings and bangles. Over the years Linda Macdonald Jewellery has become an award-winning jewellery brand in the UK, including the British Jewellery Association’s Designer of the Year.
