Remodelled old jewellery handmade into a pendant in Scotland

Reviews & Testimonials

Christine Riddoch, Alcester

"Bianca, just opened my earrings and they are absolutely perfect in every way... I'm beyond delighted."

Fiona Ramsay, Perthshire

“Well your stunning earrings have arrived and I absolutely love them... thank you so very much. I am looking forward to wearing them.”

A moss agate step cut stone simply set in silver.

This one's on an 18" medium weight belcher chain.

I have one left. Just the one. 😱

If you fancy it, just send me a DM. It can be yours, let's make it happen. ✨️

Handmade silver jewellery is slow made.

Every now and then, I look at everything I have in stock at once, and I wonder how many hours it took to make it all...

I should probably keep track, but I'm not. Not all the time.

Sometimes, it's worth not keeping track, for the pleasure of getting lost in it.

Hammered Silver Drop Earrings
Polished edges. Quiet drama. Long lines that catch the light.

Now available at biancaoneill.com

Handmade, always.

#glasgowlife #jewelleryscotland #scottishcraft #handmadejewelleryuk

These folded, angular disc studs have always been a favourite. I've got some new photos of them with a matching folded textured disc pendant to go with. Now just need to, well, put these new pictures on the website, update the listings, check its all just so... tomorrow I think.

In the meantime, if you like these, just send me a message. I'll sort you out with the earrings or the necklace or both. 🤪

Every now and then, a message comes through that reminds me why I do this.

These necklaces were made with care, for a family holding on to memory.

Thank you for letting me make them.

First outing of the wares this year. Come find us at @handmadeayr today.

The old Off Ramp Studs, now... re-routed? It might get a different name, too... Started with a plan - swerved. Meant to have a linear drop, but I thought, nah… let’s throw in some suspended hoops instead. A happy detour! It's a roundabout way instead of a straight road... Okay, yeah, I'm going to change the name. The road puns are annoying me already.

Some jewellery is about making a statement. Some just quietly becomes a part of you. ✨

This tiny initial necklace is one of those pieces - reversible, effortless, and always personal. A personalised hand stamped letter on one side, a subtly hammered texture on the other.

Wear it, gift it, keep it close. 💛

💌 DM me or head to www.biancaoneill.com to choose your letter."

Getting everything carded up! These handmade silver and gold CORE Collection pieces are heading to stockists and upcoming markets where they'll be ready to find their new homes.

Every part of this process - making, finishing, and packaging - feels like a small act of care. It’s nice to see them all pilled up together.

If you’re local, keep an eye out for these at @coastgallerytroon, where I've just dropped some more off. I will also have some with me at @handmadeayr on March 29th.

Valentines Day is just around the corner. ❤️

If you're thinking of marking it with a romantic gesture, you can't really go wrong with a handmade necklace.

These two classics from the CORE Collection have recently been restocked, so I've got a few ready to post. If you want to make sure you get them in plenty of time, put in your order asap.

These start at from £45.

See the sun captured in sand. ☀️🔥

This ring started with molten hierloom gold. It's been shaped by sand and ended up with this perfect melty surface. What do you see in the texture? 👀

#HandmadeGold #SandCasting #GoldRing

If you've visited the website recently, you'll see I've been spending a bit of time trying to rephotograph collections and improve things generally to make it easier to navigate.

It's a lot of learning, and a very different routine from making the jewellery, but it's been a nice way to keep myself excited and motivated throughout the past few weeks - much needed during the depths of January for reasons pertaining to both the weather, and the general slower pace of work.

I was working on The Cast Dout today, and these are the new photos. 😊

And... I realise there's been a lot of the same old collections popping up here, but yeah, that's how come! 😆

I hope you're all not too bored. 😅 Please forgive me, I am merely here, documenting, sharing, and the right now is always new, but lately, in a rather... repetitive way. 🤣

The Struck Pendant

A piece that has found its people. When you know you know.

Some pieces hold a weight that feels right. The Struck Pendant is one of them.

The CORE Disc Studs with 24K plating...

My little golden orbs of light.

I love how the texture catches every bit of shine, giving them such a rich, warm glow.
Simplicity can still be bold.

What do you think—would you wear them every day or keep them for special occasions?"

Which CORE earrings resonate with you most?

#silverstuds #handmadejewellery #recycledsilverearrings #silverstudearrings

The CORE Midi Disc in the tiny hammer texture with partially 24k gold plating. These classic studs are available to buy on the website. I'm only saying because I've been taking photos again. 🤪

At this time of year it's quiet, so there's a bit of time to play.

These earrings are one of a kind. ✨️

The Aether Stud is available to buy in the webshop, and each pair is unique.

They are made to order using recycled silver, melted down into organic circular forms, and textured individually by hand to create a river like swoop of indentations across the highly polished surface.

Detailed yet understated, they make for the perfect handmade silver stud for both everyday wear and to add a hint of elegance to a special outfit.

If you'd like a pair, head over to the webshop and treat yourself to an ethereal pair of slices all of your own.

Have you ever wanted to get a romantic sneak peek at how handmade sterling silver jewellery is made?

Well, my good pal Geri Toth has managed to capture the process magnificently!

He's taken the brief: Bianca making The Struck Pendant (the wee burnt matchstick) but make it dramatic, high energy and cat aproved, and absolutely smashed it. 🔨💥

I'll not lie, irl, the lights are harsher, the process longer, and there are a few more steps, but Lottie is usually giving her verdict from the sidelines, so that bit is definitely true to life. 🐈‍⬛️

See more of Geri's editing goodness at geritoth.com

No Lotties were harmed in the making of this film

I've been melting down some scrap metal recently. I remelt and use scraps and off-cuts a lot, and exclusively for The Struck Pendant (the burnt match necklace) and the Aether Studs and Pendant. So those offerings are always made from twice recycled silver! 😉

The main reason I've been melting so much down recently though, is for photography and film shoots! (Molten metal and fire generally is obviously pretty cool!)

This photo was by @martyncainphoto - thank you again for the very nice shots!

Soon, I'll be sharing a new short video from Geri Toth as he's been making another. I can't wait to see it. Here's the key info: it features Lottie! 🐈‍⬛️💛🤪

A couple more commissions were found under the tree in 2024.

After making a client's christening bracelet into a pendant, a few more folks went rummaging through their jewellery boxes, looking for their baby bangles to enquire about remodelling.

The tassle on the first pendant was made from the original bangles scalloped identity plate that was carefully removed, adapded, reinforced, and decorated in the ball burr cut texture. The back shows the original engraving of her name, although this pendant can easily be worn with the name facing outward. The rest of the bangle was formed into the three graduating hoops, with the original bear design being swapped out in favour of the classic tiny hammer texture. This one reminds me of a dream catcher. It is on a longer chain and is worn low for a bohemian look.

The second pendant was formed into a classic Russian ring design with the original embossed pattern preserved and facing outward, suspended from an oversized jumpring bail. It is a classic tactile piece for everyday wear.

I can help you turn your sterling silver baby bangles into new treasures. If you're interested in turning them into pendants or perhaps rings, get in touch and I'll see what I can do. 😊

At this time of year, it's so nice to be able to finally share a few of the Christmas commissions I was working on in November and December.

So here is this lovely sterling silver pendant: created for a lucky partner, with personal sentiments hand stamped on three of the four sides of the cuboid pillar, and the decorative 'tiny hammer' texture on the fourth face.

I hope hope it's truely treasured. 😊

I'm still in the holiday mode, but I'll be back at the bench early January. (At the moment, I'm enjoying some time with Doug while he's on a/l) but feel free to get in touch via email for enquires and I'll get on any web orders beginning January 6th.

Hope you are having a good festive break. 💛

I've been having a bit of fun today with some photography, trying to get a nice shot of this gold-plated pendant. It’s not perfect, but I’m winding down for Christmas, so we’ll call it good enough for now. I really should be prepping tomorrow's soup and finishing up final presents for the family!

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you again to everyone who’s supported me this year - whether that’s been following along, leaving a kind comment, or buying a piece of my jewellery. It honestly means so much.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful, joyful New Year. Thanks for being here.

This kyanite pendant on a chunkyish 16" belcher chain is beaut! I'm having a go again at playing about with photography, but I haven't got a lot of new stuff to take photos of, so this pendant that is still available BTW will need to be the subject for now.

I want to get a prime macro lens for my Nikon D7500. I'm thinking tamron 90mm, or nikkon one or sigma one... I don't know 😅🤣 Any photographers got any advice for me on that front?

This little match has struck something in you this Christmas, (and very much more sought after than it's ciggarette end sister - I guess they're an aquired taste.) While I can't think of any more used up small objects to add to The Spent Collection, I know this one will be available in the new year.

I'd considered little apple cores, something about knowledge and sin... maybe it'll happen, maybe not... any ideas?

In the interim, enjoy this subjective view of a wee sterling silver matchstick in the making. If you're after one, you know it's on the website, and I'd be happy to make one for you, but after Christmas, if that's okay. 💛

Are we ready for a bit of soppiness?

Usually, at this time of year, I'm still flurrying around, but I find myself idle this week. It seems you've all got yourselves organised for Christmas a little earlier this year!

It's left room for me to think about the year as a whole and all that I've created in the past four years. There's been a mix of pride, uncertainty, joy, and sorrow. Working for yourself is a wild ride.

I've been quiet here. Honestly, there's been a bit of doubt and a bit of seasonal sad, I think. Without starting a pity party, it's been a time! But, it's time I got back to sharing here and showed up as I am.

This image popped up on my photos widget... it's from right at the beginning, actually, earlier than that, from before I started. It's of me crafting an engagement ring for a friend on a bookcase in my father in laws house where I was living about five years ago. This picture reminded me how much I've built, but also of how much I've been given. How much I've learned, but of how fortunate I've been. Moments of gratitude are getting me through to the end of this trying year, and I don't express enough how much each of your efforts provides that source of gratitude.

So, thank you to each and every one of you who has helped me to build this. I didn't do any of it alone. How did you help me? Of course, you may have bought my jewellery and for it's necessity, that deserves its own special thank you, but you also shared my content, helped me using your special skills, cheered me on, made me believe in myself, gave me opportunities, made things easier than they could have been, lifted me up, even gave me resources I didn't earn or have or 'deserve' more than anyone else. You took pictures, made films, hosted events, and gave me sweets on slow market days, just to make a momentary disappointment a little softer.

There are so many of you, too many to mention you all... I worry if I try to list you all, I might miss folks out. There's even been the folks who helped me that I didn't see were helping at the time, so for those reasons, I won't try to list you all.

So, Thank you for your gifts and for sharing them with me.

It seems you're all prepared early this year!

The flurry of November has settled, and I'm left twiddling my thumbs. 😅 If you'd like to get yourself or someone special a piece from the webshop, get on it asap. 💛

An Introduction

In the spirit of a few months of introspection, I felt it was a time to share again a little about myself.

For those who have just recently followed, I'm Bianca, and I create silver and occasionally gold jewellery. Sometimes I make from my heart, sometimes I make to show you yours. I do this from my home studio in Troon, where I commit myself to making full-time.

I'm grateful to have been allowed the space required to build up my small business. My husband has been championing my efforts for 4 years, and with him and mascot Lottie 🐈‍⬛️ by my side, I've been giving it all I have throughout. It's all consuming, but I try to find balance. It's the best job I've ever had but my boss doesn't pay me well and is somewhat deranged.

I guess I just love to be at my bench, I love making jewellery because I love the details, the crispness, the challenge, the discipline... I love to get lost in the slow process, and I love learning and practising the skills and techniques that make handcrafted jewellery possible.

I guess it's just love.

I hope what I can offer for you is something that you can love and treasure because of the heart that goes into it.

I am absolutely blown away!

I've been so lucky in meeting @martyncainphoto and being selected to be involved with his current project. I've been told I may use the STUNING photographs he's taken, so I have to share at least one right away with no context other than:

Look at this magic!?

I can't believe I'm the subject here. 🤯

There will be more photographs from Martyn featuring here, and on the website soon. I'm so chuffed with this! 🥰🥳

I remodelled this hollow style children's bracelet recently, too! It's been a pleasure to work on so many of these recently, some of which I've been unable to share as they're being kept under wraps until after Christmas.

This time, the piece was melted down with added silver to create a new ingot of silver to work from. The original engravings inside, of course, couldn't be saved as they have been in other children's bracelet alterations, but I recreated them using letter stamping punches to add the original message to the inner rings of this kinetic necklace.

If you are looking for handmade silver jewellery with personalised sentiments added using this method, I still have some time to take on a limited number of commissions before Christmas, but please do get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid missing out. I'm just a message away!

A wee CORE variant. Not on the website, but I took this photo.

Want this exact one in a stocking near you? DM me and take it. 😉

Making some pieces with stones!

I had this lovely kyanite stowed away in my stash. I thought it might be nice to create something with it.

When it comes to stones, I find it hard to design too much around them. I always lean toward simply setting them.

What do you think of this one? I'll have it with me on Sunday at Wintertainment in Troon if you'd like to see it in person.

The CORE - Mini Disc Studs: textured, timeless, and the ultimate go-to accessory. These studs are available in the webshop.

I created this collection to add a little bit of dramatic detail to a minimalist suite of jewellery that works with anything – simple enough for every day, yet unique enough to make a statement. Head to biancaoneill.com to explore the Core Collection and find your new favourite piece.

#BiancaONeillJewellery #JewelleryEssentials #ShopIndependent

The Aether Studs and Pendant are available now in the webshop! 😀

Each Aether piece is formed organically by fire. The edges are entirely unique to each piece, and this rustic, earthy edge contrasts with the highly polished face, featuring an airy texture, rippling across it.

The fifth element has had different definitions. It's been considered an element reserved for the gods, otherworldly yet entirely natural. It has also been thought to make up the space between in the universe.

Also, they're just pretty. 😅

Will you get yourself a set?

Another children's christening bracelet remodelled into a pendant. 🫡

This time, the design was proposed by my customer through her own sketch, and I was more than happy to bring her vision to life. As before, I preserved the original engraving and pattern from the bracelet.

So this design I can decidedly take exactly 0% credit for, but I'm pretty happy with my execution none the less! 😅

Did you receive a christening bracelet as a baby? If you'd like to turn your christening bracelet into something new, send me a wee message and we can make it happen. 😉

I just wrapped up this commission and had to share! This beautiful amber was from a bracelet of my client’s, and we gave these stones a new lease of life in this custom sterling silver setting. I love how the amber catches the light, full of those rich earthy tones that make it so special.

It’s always an honour to be able to craft custom pieces for you. If you've got something meaningful that you'd like to reimagine, I’d love to help.

#AmberJewellery #CustomCommission #SterlingSilver #JewelleryReimagined #commission #handcraftedjewellery

This pendant used to be a christening bracelet.

When Flora asked to have her life long owned bracelet made into something new, she was keen to keep the beautiful hand engraving and the pattern of the bracelet on show.

We decided on this interlocking ring design pendant. It shows the hand engraving off just as she had hoped, but the individual elements move, so the pattern and engraving are always changing in their placement.

She was very pleased with the outcome, and I'm glad I was able to help! 😊

If you are hoping to commission me, please do get in touch soon to avoid disappointment. The busy season is fast approaching. 😅

CORE Midi Disc Studs

These oxidised and partially gold plated earrings manage to make the humble circular stud a statement.

They're around 12mm in diameter, nice and weighty and of course, handmade.

You can find these in the webshop now if you fancy them.

If you're in Troon, this ring is sitting in a little grey velvet tray, inside a glass cabinet, over at @coastgallerytroon. She's waiting for you to take her home. ✨️

I'm currently visiting my mum in Türkiye, so here's a wee photo I took before I went of this tottie wee white druzy set in silver on a fine curb chain. It's about 10mm across.

This one is available if you fancy it. Let me know and I'll get it posted out as soon as I get home! 😊

When you craft a piece of jewellery with intention, hoping to share a personal idea, there’s no greater gift than when someone truly connects with it. Laura’s story touched me deeply, as she resonated with the concept behind the 'Struck' pendant in such a profound way and added personal layers of meaning regarding its tactility. Laura has agreed to allow me to share this personal story with you. I hope it can illustrate the power of art in connecting and reflecting our lived experience.

I've gone and done a thing! 😅

So, Troon locals in the know, you may be familiar with our local going out magazine?

I've decided to include an insert in next month's issue to reach all the lovely folks that aren't about on Instagram, Facebook, and the like. I'm so happy with my wee flyer design, I couldn't help but share it on here, too! If you're local, please do keep your eye out for it, and if you spot it in the wild, send me a snap!

I know it's advertisingy stuff (bit cringe 😅), but it's just little old me here trying to do the business, and I'm proud of my little professional effort and wanted to share my excitement. ☺️

Will you send me a pic if you spot it? Please say yes! 🙏

Have you seen the CAST DOUT? This realistic sterling silver cigarette end / butt / dogend and all the other terms associated. 😅 In Scotland, it's a dout. I do like a pun!

Having been shamed over my choice to present a cigarette end for casting during my studies, the fateful sample hid away in a box for over 15 years. I decided to revisit the idea. Much like the rebeliousness smoking represented in years gone by, now looked upon differently in changing times, my relationship too, with the initial rejection I experienced has changed. Time has given it nostalgia and softness.

To me, they are a physical manifestation of personal rebelion, growth, and self compassion. It brings up a lot of layered emotions, and I enjoy the multitude of reactions this necklace receives.

What do you feel when you see this piece? Is there more than one emotion that comes?

I've reorganised the way these CORE - Midi Disc Studs are listed in the webshop, and updated the photographs to help you to see the details and navigate the choices a little more easily.

That's one of nine sorted! I'll be sorting the rest out in due course, but for now, off to yoga. 🧘‍♀️

Now Sold

Okay only because I'm obsessed with getting to take pictures of something larger than a stud around 8mm in diameter: here is this chonk of a ring again. 😅

Now Sold

Okay, this is pretty. That's me. I started, finished and filmed a ring today. Not bad for a day's work. 😁

It's not my usual style...

Then again, maybe it could be?

What do you think? Would you wear it? The moissanite is on fire. 🔥

The CORE Collection

These are the mini disc studs. They're 8mm in diameter, a tiny wee stud, but they're imposing. If you prefer something a little larger, the midis might be more for you or...

I'm happy to make studs to your specification, so if you're looking for something like these, but larger, get in touch if you'd like a pair made just the way you want em.

Get in touch via email or DM.

The CORE Pillar Pendant

This one features a smudge of 24k gold plating.

I love to layer this one with The CORE Disc Pendant.

If you'd like one, head over to the webshop where you can choose this in silver and gold, black and gold, or simply in silver.

Or maybe this minimalist pendant would make for the perfect gift for someone special?

Just made this: Size J1/2 (pretty wee) DM if you'd like it.

Oops, I drilled myself!

The drama!

But I'll have all the proverbial blood, sweat, and tears cleaned right off asap.

I guess sometimes jewellery making is kind of gross!
