Claire Troughton is a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art (1995) and established her business in 1996. Her work was immediately popular with people of all ages and she now sells to contemporary galleries and beautiful jewellery shops throughout the UK.

In 2004 Claire won the 'Platinum Innovation Award' for her beautiful necklace inspired by the seeds of the dandelion clock floating away in the wind. She has also been commended by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and her unusual gold cufflinks attracted the attention of Cherie Blair, resulting in her attending a reception evening at 10 Downing Street.

Claire is a featured artist on the axis website, the Craftmaker 'Selected' online gallery, Design Initiative and you can now follow her on Facebook. Go to the links page to connect to all these pages.
