A jewellery business is set to change hands after 14 years.
Natural Silver, known for its silver pieces inspired by the Cornish coast, is bidding farewell to its founder and designer, Niki Green, who is retiring.
West Cornwall local, Kia Lucas, will now take the reins of the business.
Niki Green has been crafting unique designs for 14 years, drawing inspiration from shells, leaves, and other natural items found on Cornwall’s beaches.

She said: “Time to retire and move on!
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all my lovely customers over the last 14 years.
“I really am so grateful for all your custom and delightful messages about what the pieces meant to you.
“I have appreciated them all!
“I’m so pleased that this little business is continuing to develop and grow in new directions.”
Kia Lucas, who grew up in West Cornwall, will use her background in art, textiles, and photography to bring a creative perspective to the business.
She said: “Growing up in West Cornwall, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the sea, the landscape, and the incredible natural beauty around us.
“I’ve always admired Niki’s work.
“It’s an honour to be taking this business on and be able to carry on that tradition in her footsteps.”
Lucas is committed to preserving the vision carefully crafted by Niki Green, whilst also bringing in some new designs.
She said: “My main aim is to keep everything that makes Natural Silver so special – the high quality, the artistry, the unique designs inspired by Cornwall’s coast.
“In time, I will bring in some new designs, but I’m keen to keep the spirit of Natural Silver, and feel strongly about continuing what Niki has created.”
