Forget generic gifts – SILVERKUPE creates handmade luxury jewellery they actually want
- Advertisement Feature
If you’re looking for a Christmas gift that feels a little more special this year, SILVERKUPE might be exactly where to find it.
SILVERKUPE is the independent jewellery studio of Emine Thompson, based in Ouseburn, where she creates contemporary pieces in recycled silver and gold. Emine started as a self-taught jeweller with a background in 3D modelling, and that love of design and making still shines through in everything she creates.
Her jewellery blends sculptural form, texture and individuality, whether it’s from her much-loved Seed Series or her brand-new Fold Series. Each piece is handmade, completely unique and designed to be worn for years—exactly the kind of gift that feels thoughtful, personal and a little luxurious.
SILVERKUPE isn’t just about the jewellery, though. Emine also runs small, friendly jewellery-making workshops in her fully equipped studio. These sessions are ideal for anyone who loves hands-on experiences, creativity, or simply wants to try something new. Participants make their own piece of jewellery from start to finish, and they even receive a 10% voucher for the Biscuit Factory Kitchen—making it a lovely day out. Workshops are kept between 5–8 people, so they’re relaxed, social and perfect as a gift for someone who values experiences over things.
For anyone unsure what to choose, SILVERKUPE offers gift cards—a brilliant option for Christmas gifting. They’re valid for a full year, and the recipient can pick a workshop date that suits them, which takes the pressure off holiday scheduling.
And as a festive bonus, HLN readers get 15% off all jewellery and workshops with the code HLN15 until 12th December 2025.
This season, SILVERKUPE makes gifting easy—whether it’s a unique handmade piece or a creative experience that becomes a cherished memory.
