"Craftsmanship is like being vulnerable. You're pouring your life and soul into your work" – Mark Barros, Entrepreneur.
Zoe Davidson lives in Orkney and works from her small workshop in Stromness. She produces jewellery which is all handmade, dynamic in form and inspired by her love for the island's historic landscapes and ever-changing seas.
"Zoe made commitment rings for us, using our own family gold and to my own vague design. She took it and what came back was just beautiful! So unique, we love them."
"I now own several pieces of jewellery from Zoe and every single time I wear them I am praised with complements. The quality of material and attractive, innovative designs make them a pleasure to wear. Also, Zoe herself is an incredibly inspiring woman who is willing to go the extra mile in ensuring your piece is exactly how you want it."
"Zoe has repaired a couple of pieces of jewellery for me recently, both pieces have huge sentimental value to me so it was important to me that they were looked after well. I could not have been happier with Zoe's work, each piece was fixed perfectly (sometimes better than the original!), very quickly and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended."
"My husband bought me the large Swirl pendant for Christmas and I absolutely love it. It has the oceanic blue topaz and the colour of the stone is incredible. Zoe's jewellery looks like movement that's been caught - very sculptural and beautiful, and completely different to any other Orkney jeweller. She's also delightful to deal with. Can't recommend enough."
"If you're looking for a jewelry designer with passion for her work, an upbeat personality that infuses her artistry, as well as great communication skills and service for her clients, then Zoe is the one you're looking for! Meeting Zoe in her workshop in Stromness, during our backpack holiday through Orkney, was a delight. Having just proposed to my then-girlfriend at the Ring of Brodgar, back home in The Netherlands we decided to ask Zoe to design a pair of unique wedding rings. We were able to collaborate with her on the process without the physical distance being any hindrance. Zoe delivered - and then some! We would most certainly have her design something again, and I hope that many of you out there will share your idea with her as to shape it into reality - or find something in her own ever evolving collection"
