About us
All of our pieces are inspired by the sea & the outdoors and handmade in my studio, on the beatiful North Norfolk Coast.
The story began at Christmas in 2018. After always wanting to explore Silversmithing, as a gift, my other half enrolled me onto a silversmith course. From then until March of 2020, i spent every Tuesday afternoon in the workshop, learning new skills and creating jewellery.
Once confident in my ability and designs, i started to sell in December 2019 & Papa A's Treasures was born. I always knew i would develop something in memory of my late father, and this venture seemed to fit. He was creative & loved the outdoors, most of my memories of us are from the beach & he was the one who introduced me to my love of jewellery, buying me pieces for special occasions.
I love mixing new and old, using elements of old jewellery alongside new creations and making unique pieces. We are all different, so why shouldn't our jewellery be?
I believe in creating good quality, unique products that everyone can enjoy, whilst being conscious of the ethical and environmental impact of the industry.

Look a little deeper....
Every single piece is handmade, so will be unique in one way or another. Every single piece will have it's own character.
Our packaging is eco friendly, custom made at Westpack or The Tiny Box Company, embossed with our logo. The cardboard used is FSC certified and rest of the packaging has the Westpack ECO stamp, meaning the glue, paper and carboard are all eco friendly.
