Kelda Young is a designer and maker from the Scottish Highlands and is currently based in Wasps Studios, Glasgow. She creates sustainably conscious contemporary jewellery using recycled precious metals, each piece unique due to the nature of the handcrafted process.  

Kelda’s work is centred around material connection, and the physical act of making. Using hollow forming techniques in conjunction with high pressure embossing to create tactile, enticing pieces - highlighting textures and details that might often go unnoticed. The softness of the pushed metal and the misleading perception of weight heightens curiosity and longs to be picked up. By incorporating traditional hand skills such as engraving which is often hidden creates another layer of intrigue.

Kelda strives to make timeless pieces that will be cherished forever, creating in small batches and making to order to reduce waste.

Kelda enjoys working closely with customers to create bespoke pieces and help bring ideas to life. She also welcomes remodelling projects, giving sentimental gold a new lease of life. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss any ideas.
