Kalso

South Wales

Bespoke jewellery and crafts, lovingly made by hand.

Vivienne Wigmore has been making jewellery at her studio in South Wales for over fifteen years — genuine gemstones, .925 sterling silver, and no two pieces ever quite alike.

The studio

No two pieces, ever quite alike.

I design and make all of the jewellery for Kalso myself, at my studio here in South Wales.

In many of my designs I use genuine gemstones and .925 sterling silver, though I also work with antique brass, copper and silver plate for a more contemporary look. I’ve taken years to source and collect the gems I use, and I still spend hours searching for different stones and findings to bring into my designs.

Each piece I make is unique. I could never make any two exactly alike.

What Kalso makes

Three things, made three ways.

  1. Jewellery

    Necklaces, bracelets and earrings, made by hand from .925 sterling silver and genuine gemstones — with antique brass, copper and silver plate for a more contemporary look.

  2. Accessories & wear

    Scarves, hats and gloves, sourced and made to match and complement the jewellery — chosen so a piece and what you wear it with belong together.

  3. Crafts & homeware

    One-off pieces through the year: recycled-material dolls for children, bespoke wooden crafts, and ornaments made for the house rather than the neck.

A few pieces

Still making

Now and then, for someone in particular.

These days Vivienne takes on the occasional commission — jewellery for weddings and proms, gifts, and one-off pieces for special occasions. If there’s something you have in mind, she’d love to hear from you.
