About Ty Picl

Hello and welcome to Tŷ Picl!

I'm Saffron – the maker, designer, and proud owner behind this little jewellery brand based here in Cardiff, Wales. Here's a bit about how Tŷ Picl (pronounced "Tea Pickle"!) came to life.

After graduating with a Fine Art degree in 2019, I was lucky enough to train in a lovely little jewellery shop in Bath, where I first learned the craft of silversmithing. It didn't take long for me to fall completely in love with making jewellery — experimenting with different metals like silver, gold, and brass, and learning new styles and techniques whenever I could.

I’m originally from beautiful Pembrokeshire, but moved to Cardiff in 2020 because I missed being surrounded by all things Welsh — the coast, the language, the spirit of home.

Tŷ Picl means "Pickle’s House" in Welsh, named after my mischievous little chihuahua, Pickle, who comes absolutely everywhere with me. After a year of lots of change in 2023, I really wanted to create something that felt rooted, playful and full of heart – and so this little handmade jewellery brand was born.

Each piece of jewellery I design is inspired by Wales — its landscapes, language, and the sense of home it gives me. I love being playful with my designs, and it makes me so happy to think a piece of Tŷ Picl might bring a little bit of joy to your jewellery box too.

Thank you so much for visiting and supporting my dream of becoming a full-time jeweller. It truly means the world.

Lots of love,
Saff and Pickle x
