BIO:   NI Silver  

NI Silver is  a  family  run  company  specialising  in  hand-crafted  silver, (hallmarked  and  engraved), jewellery specifically designed to reflect Northern Ireland (NI) icons.The 3D jewellery charms have been carved from wax or constructed in silver by Ruth McEwan-Lyon, who lives in Holywood, NI. They are then cast in silver, hand finished, hallmarked and engraved, before being transformed into whatever you require, ie pendants, earrings or cufflinks. Having recently returned home to NI, Ruth draws her inspiration from the magnificent views around her wee country and she has created a collection called “Mi-NI” (my Northern Ireland). She says, “Although I always loved NI, I appreciate all of the beauty that it has to offer much more now that I have lived overseas. I admire the diversity of what others would simply describe as the ‘industrial architecture’ of our towns and cities.I believe that those with an affiliation for NI will always associate these architectural icons with home so these images will always mean something special, to our families and friends around the world.”
