What began as a childhood hobby, evolved into a lifelong passion and career to create beautiful lasting jewellery with a story. Aimi, silversmith at her dream jewellery shop, inSilver and Gold uses a combination of traditional and modern techniques to create handmade timeless classics. One of a kind pieces of jewellery and commissions.
Being a coastal location, the majority of her work is sea inspired, casting shells found on warm summer afternoon visits to Sunny Sands beach to stormy day outings to create the Seaweed collection.
I had a fantastic experience at the silver ring-making workshop! It was such a lovely, creative activity, and I really enjoyed learning how to make my own silver ring from start to finish. The workshop was relaxed, friendly and informative, with clear guidance throughout. It was so rewarding to leave with a beautiful ring that I had made myself. A really enjoyable and memorable experience that I would highly recommend!
Aimi was so helpful and competent. Every aspect of our experience was lovely. I have a beautiful handmade wedding ring which is the perfect fit. I love it!!!
Stunning, high-quality silver bangle! I bought this handmade piece from Aimi (after seeing her wearing one in her shop and asking her to make me one) it has quickly become my favourite piece of jewellery. It fits perfectly, feels durable yet elegant, and looks gorgeous. Highly recommend supporting Aimi, she is an incredibly talented local artisan!
I loved every minute of making my very own ring! The whole experience was so enjoyable, and it was amazing to create something unique that I can keep and treasure.
Aimi was absolutely incredible — so friendly, helpful and patient. She explained everything really clearly, made sure I understood each step and made the whole process feel easy and enjoyable.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something a little different and special to do. Thank you, Aimi, for making it such a memorable experience!
I started with a rough idea of what I wanted my silver ring to look and feel like and I was thrilled that Aimi took my commission on. She created a beautiful , perfectly sized , comfortable and unique ring for me . The whole experience was special and with her skill and creativity I have more than I hoped for. Thanks Aimi - we are lucky to have your lovely jewellery workshop in Folkestone !
Aimi has been so very helpful. I had two (beautiful) rings bought for me for my birthday, one was slightly too big. I messaged Aimi to see if it could be made smaller, she messaged back and asked me to come in. When I got there Aimi welcomed me with a lovely smile and found a ring for me to try on for size, I came back an hour later and my new ring was ready which fit perfectly. Aimi thank you so much.

We visited the lovely Aimi at In Silver & Gold for our wedding ring workshop. A stunning shop and workspace, located a stone’s throw from the sea.
Aimi hosted the workshop with such energy and enthusiasm and guided us patiently through each step. We had so much fun learning the various processes from sawing, to smelting, filing, hammering and polishing.
By the end of the session we had made each others rings for our big day, ready to be sent off for hallmarking. It truly was such a personal and memorable experience that we will treasure for many many years to come.
So much more unique and special than popping to a high street jeweller and buying a ring off the shelf. I highly recommend doing a wedding ring workshop with Aimi, you won’t regret it and will leave with a truly unique piece of jewellery and a meaningful experience to begin your married life with.
Thanks Aimi!
I found Aimi on Google and what a lovely helpful lady she is. I had a pair of Ruby earrings for my 40th wedding anniversary, twice one stone fell out, fortunately both times in the box. I was quoted £600 + by another jeweller to remake the settings, Aimi repaired them for £110, she advised me to use the original part that goes through the ears but completely renew the parts holding the stones, she has done a beautiful job. Her other jewellery pieces are outstanding, so much so, whilst there i bought a torque bangle and a ring. Aimi also does bespoke pieces. So, do look out for her new shop in the Old High Street, Folkestone opening at the end of June.
Aimi looks forward to welcoming you into her jewellery boutique, inSilver and Gold, 65 The Old High Street, Folkestone. Nestled along its cobbled street, full of charm and character, you will discover artists, makers and independent businesses, all in the heart of The Creative Quarter, Folkestone. Come and support this fabulous community!
