About

Our ethos is to breathe life into lost pieces of nostalgia and history. Restoring them in a whole new way to be appreciated once more.

Jewellery crafted from forgotten antique cutlery that would otherwise be melted down for scrap.

Lighting up-cycled from precious pieces of history, ideal for hobbies. The man cave must have.

Meet the Maker

Hello, I'm Frankie!

I've been running Stirring Silver for over 15 years.

What began as a hobby whilst I studied for my GCSE's has transformed into my full time job; I put just as much passion into it now as I did all those years ago.

I am a self-taught jewellery and search the UK to transform silver cutlery into jewellery - this is how Stirring Silver began. I research all of the British hallmarks and can individually date and place where each piece was originally made. The idea of transforming something that could be lost forever into something that could be used everyday is something I fell in love with.

In 2019 I used that passion to start creating up-cycled lighting - with the help of my electrician dad he has taught me everything I know. I now craft every single piece myself and I'm fully PAT test qualified to take my small business further than I could ever imagine.

Most weekends are spent travelling the length and breadth of the UK venturing antique shops and yard sales - the rest of the time I am constantly making, pouring every ounce of myself into giving lost objects second lives.

I won the NMTF's Young Trader of the Year award in 2019 and from that use my platform to encourage young entrepreneurs to pursue market trading and starting their own small businesses.

Stirring Silver lighting can be found in AirBNB's, pubs and hotels all around the UK - and you can find me at Chatsworth Christmas Market every year running from November through into December
