Meet Victoria
Hi, I'm Victoria, the maker and designer behind Victoria Liddell Jewellery, based on the beautiful island of Jersey in the Channel Islands.
I create meaningful, handmade jewellery inspired by the natural world around me — from the sea and shoreline to the sky above and the textures, shapes and beauty found in nature.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed and handmade in my little open studio at Devil's Hole, where I work with recycled silver and gold, natural gemstones and personal details to create jewellery that tells a story.
I love creating pieces that are more than just something beautiful to wear. Whether it's a birthstone representing someone you love, a personalised piece marking a special date, or a design inspired by a favourite place, I want each piece to hold a little meaning of its own.
Thank you for being here and supporting my little business.
My Inspiration
My jewellery is inspired by the world around me — the places I love, the little details I notice and the memories that stay with me.
Living on the small island of Jersey, I’m never far from the sea. I’m inspired by the movement of the waves, the texture of rocks and shells, the colours of the coastline and the way the light changes throughout the day.
I’m equally drawn to the sky — from a bright starry night to the soft glow of a sunset — and to the natural world around me, from leaves and flowers to the textures and shapes I find in nature.
These inspirations come together through my three signature themes: Sea, Sky & Land.
Sometimes an idea starts with something as simple as a walk along the beach, a beautiful gemstone or a shape I’ve noticed in nature. I then bring that inspiration back to my little studio and turn it into jewellery with its own meaning and story.
My journey
In 2010, I travelled around the world with my boyfriend, who is now my husband. While travelling, I became fascinated by beautiful handmade jewellery I discovered along the way.
I bought a simple jewellery-making kit from a bead shop and began making pieces of my own — including my very first piece inside the little “Flower Power” campervan we were travelling around in.
I was hooked.
When I returned home, I decided to turn my new-found passion into something more. In 2011, I completed a jewellery course at the London Jewellery School and continued developing my skills and my own style.
Over the years, my little hobby grew into my business.
I've now been making jewellery for many years, building Victoria Liddell Jewellery around family life and eventually taking the leap to run my business full time.
In 2018 I won a award from Theo Paphitis (dragon den) by entering his Small business competition and got to meet him in the UK to receive her award.
I'm incredibly grateful that something that began with a simple jewellery-making kit in a campervan has grown into the business I have today.
Why I make meaningful jewellery
I've always believed that jewellery can hold something much more precious than its materials.
As a child, I remember being fascinated by my mum's vintage charm bracelet. Each charm had its own meaning — some opened, some moved and each one seemed to hold a little story.
I loved the idea that something so small could represent a person, a memory or a special moment.
That feeling has stayed with me.
Today, I create jewellery for those same reasons.
A birthstone can represent the people you love. A personalised piece can hold a name or date that means everything to you. A piece inspired by the sea can remind you of a favourite place or a special memory.
For me, jewellery isn't just something beautiful to wear.
It's something that can become part of your story.
