Intricate, fine jewellery designed & made by Abi Cochran
Hello I'm Abi, I design and make jewellery at the edge of the fens near Cambridge, England.
I’m currently obsessed with weather-worn textures. I love the fine details found in burnt wood, split pieces of ply, microscopic lichens. . . often resembling fantastic miniature landscapes - both challenging and fun to try and reproduce in jewellery form!
My grandmother Catherine ‘Casty’ Cobb
was a Silversmith. Casty taught jewellerey making in Cambridge for several decades until her 90s, encouraging and inspiring until just a few weeks before she died.
Before she became a teacher, she had a successful career as a designer maker, enjoyed working as a puppeteer assistant with William Simmonds, and for several years travelled the world as an artist examiner. Read more about Casty here.
I use ethically sourced materials whenever possible.
I often recycle old gemstones and metals, I’m working towards making my jewellery as sustainable as possible.

I take on custom orders.
Making customers happy by designing and making jewellery that holds meaning for them, is really satisfying!
Take a look at a few of my
custom made pieces here.
I live close to Fulbourn Fen an often surreally idyllic nature reserve on the edge of Cambridge, England.
It’s an endless source of inspiration as well as a place to recharge, stretch my back at the end of long days at the workbench.
