Lydia Niziblian

Since 2009, I’ve been an independent jewellery designer/maker, in Cardiff, my hometown. Since March 2019, I’ve been working from my studio in the heart of Whitchurch Village in North Cardiff.  

I use gold and silver and traditional methods to create my jewellery.  Gemstones are carefully sourced, and as much metal as possible is recycled. I believe in slow fashion; buy handmade pieces, made with love.  As well as ready-to-buy pieces, I take custom orders for special pieces. 

I love symbology, and my new work embraces it; with pieces that connect with our past traditions and folklore, from crosses crafted from rowan trees to hag stones.

I am autistic; part of which makes my sensory relationship with the world unusual.  It informs my love of including sensory aspects to my jewellery.  It also gives me an incredible ability to hyperfocus, which is very useful when dealing with projects!

Each piece of jewellery is made with the intention of inspiring the happy feeling of found treasure.
