What Makes SILVERKUPE Jewellery Different
Handmade. Sustainable. Different.
At Silverkupe, every piece of jewellery is a handmade with care and intention. Crafted exclusively from recycled silver and gold, each piece reflects my commitment to sustainable craftsmanship—honouring both the art of making and the world we live in.
Every design begins as an exploration. Whether I’m silversmithing, working with metal clay, enamelling, or carving wax, I let the materials shape the journey. The result is jewellery that feels as beautiful as it looks—pieces that carry both texture and emotion.
Beyond my own creations, I’m passionate about supporting other small businesses by collaborating with local photographers and artisans. Sustainability extends to every detail, from my eco-friendly, reusable packaging to the conscious choices behind each design.
When you wear a piece from Silverkupe, you’re not just wearing jewellery—you’re wearing a story, thoughtfully crafted and made to last.
Jewellery is personal — a pendant that calms, a ring that empowers, earrings that simply feel right.
What’s Special About Silverkupe Workshops
My classes are intentionally small — limited to 5–8 participants, depending on the workshop — ensuring you’ll always receive plenty of individual guidance and support.
At Silverkupe, I’m proud to use only recycled silver and gold in all my workshops.
My studio is located within BBox Studios, right in the heart of Newcastle’s Ouseburn district — a vibrant creative hub with good public transport links and convenient parking options.
If you’re joining one of my long-term workshops, you can make up missed sessions by joining a Tuesday or Wednesday session, arranged in advance.
Meet the Maker
I’m Emine — the maker, designer, and tutor behind Silverkupe Jewellery Studio.
Every piece I make has a story. Using recycled silver and gold, I craft jewellery that blends creativity, technique, and heart. Limited editions or bespoke treasures, each design celebrates individuality, sustainability, and timeless beauty.
