Sterling silver jewellery is a timeless favourite, loved for its beautiful shine, versatility, and ability to complement any outfit. Whether it's a delicate necklace, an elegant bracelet, or a pair of statement earrings, sterling silver pieces can become treasured accessories that last for years with the right care.
At Feather and Twigs, we're delighted to stock beautiful sterling silver jewellery from Lucy Kemp Jewellery, alongside carefully selected pieces from Shyla and Jess and Lou. To help you keep your jewellery looking its best, we've put together a simple guide to cleaning and caring for sterling silver.

This method is ideal for everyday maintenance and works particularly well for delicate pieces.

Making Local our First port of Call
There is something special about living in a community where you can walk down the street and find independent shops, cafés and businesses run by people you know.
They bring character to our villages and towns. They create jobs, support local events, champion other small businesses and give our high streets an identity that simply cannot be replicated online or by large national chains.
But if we want ...
There are times when running an independent business feels busy, and then there are times when everything seems to happen at once.
At Feather & Twigs, we are currently very much in the latter.
On any normal day, there is already plenty happening behind the scenes. We have our existing shop to run, customers to look after, deliveries arriving, stock to unpack and displays to refresh. Alongside that ...
At Feather & Twigs, we’ve always believed that a good gift should feel as lovely to give as it does to receive.
Over recent years, we’ve noticed a change in the way people choose gifts. It’s becoming less about simply finding something and more about finding the right thing.
We want to know who made it. Where it came from. What it’s made from. Whether it will be used and enjoyed. And increasingly, whether buying it supports the s...
