Jewellery designer Sam Holmes has been selected for our 'In the Window' display for June 2025, chosen from a range of makers who exhibited at Manchester Metropolitan University Graduate show, 2024

"My journey as a jewellery designer began with a profound love for the outdoors, where I draw endless inspiration from nature’s intricate details and ever-changing landscapes. From the vibrant colours of wildflowers to the rugged textures of stones, I find creative fuel in the world around me. My process goes beyond craftsmanship; it’s a hands-on, immersive experience that connects me to the environment. Each piece I create is a reflection of the moments spent gathering materials, sculpting designs, and letting the essence of the natural world guide my vision. Through my work, I aim to craft not just jewellery, but an experience—a story that celebrates the beauty of our planet, inviting others to carry a piece of nature’s elegance with them, wherever they go."- Sam Holmes
