Who is Sterling & Gold?
Hannah Trimble, a local Silversmith and Jewellery Designer, with a BDes Honours Degree in 3D Design. My passion is designing and creating beautiful pieces.
I have always had a passion and love of making with one of my all time favourite subjects in school being Technology and Design. In 2004 I completed a BTec National Diploma in 3D Design, then went on to study this further at the University of Ulster graduating in 2008 with a BDes Honours Degree in 3D Design specialising in product design.
My love of product design stems from the process involved, starting with the initial problem solving, progressing this through to mock ups and model making and small scale products. I love seeing ideas from Initial concept right through to a 3D physical and tangible item.
In 2015 I completed a silversmithing course and this is where my love of silversmithing came from, it filled all my product and small scale design needs, with the ability to design and make fully wearable pieces from raw sheet materials is a very rewarding career.
My passion is designing and creating beautiful wearable pieces of jewellery from the initial concept, sketching right through to finished piece. There is nothing that drives me more than people enjoying my work and wearing it with love.
A wife and mother of 3 young boys and an energetic small dog. I love being outdoors and trips through the forest with my little dog exploring. My other passion is travelling, I love going abroad and seeing different cultures, trying different foods, exploring little traditional market towns admiring their architecture and cobbled streets. There simply is nothing better and makes me happier than the feeling of the sun on your face.
I grew up initially in a town but then moved to a small rural village which was a stones throw away from the beach. I adored living here with the closeness of the community and the scenery was simply stunning. Living so close to the water I found it incredibly relaxing and calming and has instilled that love of water in me and my family.
I have always loved designing and making and in my house I’m know as ‘the fixer’ as I love making and fixing things.
