Deborah Hodgkiss (aka The Urban Mermaid) is a jewelry designer working in pearls, metals, semi precious stones and ceramics.
Her work is marvellously romantic, fairy-tale...
One is immediately transported into the underworld of myth and magic where beautiful ethereal life breathes and legends are lived!
She invites us to enter this world of fantasy by creating objects of beauty for the wearer, so that one may be suitably dressed to live out a dream...
Whether dressing for the Fete` Campetre in gardens of delight, or the Bacchae in fairy groves, a Midsummer night's dream or a twilight beauty in Le Spectre de la rose, or l'Apres midi d'un faune, as Venus to your Adonis, here is the jewelry for you to be perfectly adorned.
It is essential to Deborah that her life's work is creative expression, and she is always creating new pieces that can be seen in her Manchester studio. Metals, pearls, vintage and found objects blended together to add to her fantasia of romantic styles.
Jewelry that is unique; designed to reflect the wishes of her clientelle form the main part of Deborah's business. To commission bespoke orders please allow one month and contact the Artist directly.
If this timing is difficult, Deborah has been known to adjust her schedule to enable her to meet the particular needs or deadline of her clients.
As the Artist herself says, "All of my work is made individually and with love, no two pieces are ever the same".
Upon visiting Deborah's studio you will discover a charming assembly of delicate creatures;
Mermaids and Sea Horses, Elfyns and a sleeping fairy child in a horse-chestnut cocoon...
Wonderful accompaniment to a perfect enchanted occasion.
