About MeA Scottish silver jewellery designer whose work is much prized today is Norman Grant. He was born in Forres, Scotland in 1943 and at the age of 18 started training at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen. Initially he studied graphic design before later moving into silversmithing. Having lived near the coast much of his jewellery designs reflected the natural shapes and details seen in the environment. Flower motifs, trees, seaweed, fish, wave and cloud motifs featured in his work, as well as microscopic plant cell structures.More About Me
Norman Grant started making jewellery in his garden shed in 1967. His brightly coloured enamelled jewellery became very popular during the early 70's, with customers eventually including Mick Jagger, Billy Connolly and Elton John.
