Sheila Fleet, a Scottish jewellery designer from Orkney, takes inspiration from the natural landscapes and surroundings. Graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 1963, a near contemporary of Ola Gorie, she first moved to London and worked for various jewellery companies.
Sheila eventually returned to Orkney to work for the jeweller Ortak as their first professional designer and modelmaker and it wasn’t until 1993 that she opened her own shop and has been the sole designer ever since. With collections named The Sea, The Land, Tradition etc, hand painted enamels and gem set pieces help to evoke the movement and colours of the Scottish landscape in her designs.
