My name is Annie Scales.

I studied a BA (hons) degree course in Jewellery and Silversmithing at Sir John Cass School of Art and Design in London.

After 5 years of working for myself as a Jeweller I completed a PGCE in Design and Technology at The University of Ripon and York St John. I continued to make jewellery throughout my teaching career but rarely had enough time to produce more than a few commissions and take part in a few craft fairs. I have now left the profession in order to pursue my jewellery full time.

I decided to name my Jewellery company Edith May Jewellley after my husband's mother who was a prolific collector of jewellery and would have loved the idea.

I very much enjoy the personal interaction in designing for clients for their special pieces of work. This can involve discussing a theme, a series of sketched ideas, making up a prototype in silver before a precious metal, or making a piece from a client's own design.

I also enjoy making my own pieces and selling them direct to clients as well as at trade and craft fairs.

I am also part of the Artist’s consortium at Two Tree Gallery in Leigh.
