Jill Graham designs and makes jewellery from a combined shopfront and workshop on Lisburn Street in Hillsborough, opened in November 2023 after two decades of working from a studio base near Dromara in the Mourne foothills. Graham, born in Northern Ireland in 1980, trained at Loughborough University, graduating top of her year in silversmithing and jewellery in 2002, before an apprenticeship to a goldsmith and setting up her own business in 2003. Her collections, sold under names including Bloom, Cascade, Dusk and Heirloom, take their forms from plant structures and natural growth, worked in gold and silver as pendants, earrings, rings, bangles and brooches, with a smaller range of men's cufflinks and rings. In 2013 she was commissioned to make a piece for the G8 summit held in Northern Ireland, presented to the then Prime Minister. Customers can see pieces finished in the workshop behind the shop and commission custom designs directly with Graham.
