Jewellery for those who dream of mountains & sea

We are Nathan and Amanda – or ASCENT – a husband and wife team, based in Cumbria.

​

ASCENT started on our kitchen table during lockdown when living in the Scottish Highlands, and it has grown into something more!

 

Combining our skills and work experience in laser cutting machines and working with wood, design, communications and marketing, our jewellery is now available at various high end stores across Cumbria.

 

We love having loyal ASCENT wearers who follow our designs and colours and rave about our pieces!

​​

We met working at an outdoor centre, and we love to adventure: whether it’s staying local and hiking our Wainwrights, or canoeing our tarns… or a trip to somewhere warmer. 

​

The names of our pieces are inspired by the shapes and elements of some of our favourite adventure spots, from the tip of Scotland, down to our beloved Lake District home. ​Wood represents a piece of the outdoors, a natural product and something that connects us to the earth and places we love.​

​

Please do also come and visit us at our artists’ studio, Unit 1, at Brougham Hall, a medieval fort on the outskirts of Penrith, where we work alongside other makers.
