Claudia Bradby - Northern Star pearl and silver range.

Welcome to our Northern Star pearl and silver range. This is Claudia's most powerful pearl range yet and Claudia explained her thoughts behind these beautiful new pearl and silver jewellery designs.

‘This new range of designs is an articulation of Clauia's design philosophy – strong, simple and unusual pearls in adaptable and highly wearable designs. She admits to being inspired by the compelling historical drama The Vikings, and in particular the warrior women. They were at heart farmers, and home makers, but also adventurers who used their skills to expand their horizons. The women fought in battle and were known as shield maidens. She found their courage and warmth very appealing, in particular a character called Lagertha. Inspired by the show she visited the British museum to see the Viking jewellery and was moved by the connection back in time, as well as the fact that the jewellery had endured through the centuries. Pearls are the oldest known gemstone to have adorned people, and she was interested in jewellery through the ages and its role in society. The Vikings wore bracelets to pledge loyalty to their kings, and the women wore beautiful shawl brooches into battle. She was very attracted to their shapes as you can see in the new Lagertha studs with simple pearl drops.

Guest and Philips is the main stockist of Claudia Bradby in this area and we stock a wide range of Claudia’s modern pearl designs including beautiful pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, and pearl bracelets.

Introducing the Seascape collection

The Seascape collection pays homage to Claudia’s love of the sea, which she attributes to being born by the coast and which has kept her gravitating back to the sea all her life, be it the north Cornish coast or her beloved Greek islands. This is a truly personal collection, inspired by the mesmerising, reflective quality of the sea and its natural, regenerative power. Here you’ll find pieces that capture the play of light on water, the precious magic of our oceans and the treasures they offer.

As part of our Seascape collection heroes, the Ripple disc choker necklace, with its five delicate sterling silver discs – all individually hammered by hand before being polished and smoothed off, shimmers like light on water, while the two white seed pearl accents represent the treasures of the sea. The fine silver chain has two extension lengths so can be worn as a choker or longer if desired. Wear this necklace with the Ripple disc bracelet and our Ripple hoop earrings for a simple and sophisticated look.

Another Heroine this season; our Nerissa Keshi Long pendant. This is a statement necklace for lovers of the sea and all its treasures. No two of the large Keshi pearls are the same, making these pendants wonderfully unique. The symmetry of the round silver disc balances the irregular pearl beautifully, which is worn long on a continuous sterling silver chain. This necklace looks gorgeous layered with our Galatea Mother of the pearl pendant.

Central to this collection, our Siren Hoops earrings in silver or 18k gold plate have a delicate hammered texture that creates a sea-like effect which is finished with three white pearl drops, giving these earrings an exotic feel. A beautiful alternative to simple hoops, these earrings are the perfect summer accessory.
