Welcome

Skye Silver is a jewellery maker in the Old School at Colbost, on the road west from Dunvegan in the north-west of Skye, and it has been designing pieces in silver and gold for fifty years.

The shop in the old schoolhouse is full of pendants, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and cufflinks, with Celtic and Scottish designs, flowers and animals, and pieces in bright enamel, many of them with a particular Skye flourish.

The old stone school, with its slate roof and garden wall, stands on the road out west. The shop is seasonal: in 2026 it closed for the season on 19 August and it opens again in spring 2027, though the online shop stays open all year and the whole range can be ordered from it in the meantime.
