Lyn Eales

Lyn Eales is a Hampshire-based jewellery designer and maker working under the name Pumblechook’s Beads & Jewellery. From her compact home workshop in the village of Funtley, she creates distinctive pieces using precious metals and gemstones. Her work is characterised by a love of colour, form, and texture, often drawing inspiration from Art Deco design, natural forms, and the expressive potential of gemstones.

Lyn’s jewellery combines traditional silversmithing techniques with a playful and elegant aesthetic. She is known for her bold use of colour, particularly through the use of opal triplets, topaz, and other vibrant stones, which she sets into carefully crafted silver forms. Each piece is handmade, often as a one-off or part of a small series, reflecting her commitment to individuality and craftsmanship.

Lyn’s latest work brings texture to the fore: silver that is roller-printed, hammered and corrugated, contrasted with patination, and lifted with pops of colour from gemstones and touches of gold applied using keum boo.
