Lightwave Jewellery
Contemporary jewellery studio in the New Forest, Hampshire, run by me, Natalia Shoutova, an independent jeweller specialising in fine handmade jewellery, bespoke commissions and jewellery making courses for all abilities.
My fully-equipment jewellery studio is in a pine forest on the edge of a nature reserve. On sunny days, the studio doors are flung open and students have picnic lunch by the wildflower meadow. In Winter, we work around a cozy log burner. Have a look through this website for more information on Jewellery Making & Silversmithing Courses, my handmade jewellery pieces in the Online Store and Commission ideas. If you have any questions, send me an email or call me.
Having made and taught jewellery for many years, I am a member of the Guild of Jewellery Designers and the Association for Contemporary Jewellery. I am currently exhibiting at the Palais des Vaches Gallery in Exbury, Hampshire.

“I commissioned a very personal silver bracelet with copper inlay from Natalia. I work in extreme environments, so the design had to be tough. All I had was lots of ideas. Natalia was able to translate these into a solid design, which I loved. The finished piece just blew me away. The detail is incredible. It stood up to a lot of punishment from the elements and still looks amazing. About 6 months after I got my bracelet, I decided to add yet another element to it, but did not know if it would be possible. Natalia made it happen. The bracelet is just perfect. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Whenever I need a bespoke piece made, I’ll always go to Natalia of Lightwave Jewellery as she really captures the idea beyond my expectations.”
“Natalia has created two beautiful pieces for me. I wear a lot of jewellery and I wanted something that can both be worn alongside other jewellery or stand alone. I wanted both pieces to be personal but subtle and Natalia did this perfectly. She listened to everything I said and helped me to settle on a design that I wanted. I now have a stunning silver bangle that is engraved with a Sanskrit chant that I use during my yoga teaching and a set of earrings that perfectly match a tattoo that I have. The earrings are a set of four to show the different phases of the moon and I love that I can wear all four together or just a pair. Natalia perfectly matched the dotwork of my tattoo onto the earrings and used a technique to add shading to them, a complete contrast to what she achieved with my bangle.
Natalia gave me a fast and professional service and I would definitely use her services again.”
“The dark wings earrings from Lightwave Jewellery were a Christmas present and I simply love the creative and detailed design. I love that they go with any outfit...casual with a leather jacket or even for a black-tie do!”
“I am in love with my silver Scottie dog and wear it every single day. It is too wonderful for words: it has movement and its proportions are exactly rights. I know this because I am a long term Scottie owner. I am constantly being stopped and told how wonderful it is both in this country and abroad. I feel very special because of it and more than highly recommend a silver piece made by Natalia.”
