Scottish jewellery designer, Sheila Fleet OBE, loves her garden. Situated near the sea, it’s sheltered from the high winds and salty air by tall trees. Every Spring a host of bonnie bluebells appear.
“My garden was once part of a croft and the bluebells under the sycamore trees have been adding a little colour for many years. I picked a few and used some images to design my new collection. The blue, pink and white enamels I’ve chosen reflect Nature’s own colours,” said Sheila.

For Sheila bluebells have happy memories of her childhood. The farm she grew up on had a walled garden lined with trees where bluebells grew, a place to look for the fairies of folklore tales…
Today the bluebell rivals the thistle as a symbol of Scotland and is regarded by many as the flower of Scotland. Bluebell joins a range of designs inspired by flowers including Sheila’s very popular Snowdrop, charitable Daisy and classic Primula Scotica collections.

Bluebell is particularly suitable for brides and bridesmaids and compliments Sheila’s engagement & wedding rings and interlocking ring sets. Sheila is offering all couples £150 off any bridal jewellery for every purchase of over £1000 on engagement rings and wedding bands. The Wedding Offer is open until 31 March 2016, ask Denise and her team in Sheila’s Edinburgh shop at 18 St Stephen Street in Stockbridge.
When the day’s work is done, Sheila enjoys a few peaceful moments in her garden… beside the Workshop where all her jewellery is made.
