Welcome to KNR Jewellery and Ceramics.

Kirstie of KNR Jewellery and Ceramics produces contemporary hand crafted silver jewellery using precious metal clay and has become a renowned specialist of this material. She also creates hand built functional and sculptural ceramics.

Kirstie Reynolds is a ceramic and jewellery designer maker working in Oxfordshire. She set up her business in 1999 and originally began working with ceramics after graduating from Loughborough University with a first class honours degree. However, she soon found the material precious metal clay and the love of jewellery soon overtook the ceramics.

Precious metal clay, otherwise known as PMC, is a revolutionary material that challenges any preconceptions about how precious metals must be worked. It is a mixture of microscopic particles of pure silver suspended in a non-toxic binder to create a pliable material similar to clay. It is fired in a kiln like regular clay to burn off the water and binder leaving us with 99.9% pure Silver. Precious metal clay can therefore be worn by people normally sensitive to sterling silver! Stones set into jewellery items are all laboratory grown and are fired in the kiln with the precious metal clay. Kirstie’s hallmark is with the Birmingham Assay Office and her silver pieces are hallmarked with the mark 999 as precious metal clay is 99.9% silver.

Kirstie has recently been working with gold and the addition on 22k gold to some of her silver pieces.
