hi im Lydia,

Each piece you see is handmade by me using a considered mix of silver, found objects, thrifted materials, and stones that feel as though they already carry a story of their own.

For years, I collected objects without quite knowing why, trinkets gathered while travelling, beads discovered in thrift shops, shells slipped into pockets “just because.” Then one day, with a cup of tea, some music, and a spark of curiosity, I sat down and made something: a pair of earrings. In that moment, everything fell into place.

My process is intuitive rather than prescriptive. I allow materials to guide each design, responding to their form and character rather than imposing a fixed plan. As a result, every piece is one of one, shaped by the materials, the process, and the moment it was made. Patatina celebrates the imperfect, the mismatched, the worn, and the loved, jewellery that feels personal, a little unexpected, and entirely your own.
