Libbie Coulson is a Jewellery Designer and Artist from Drayton, and her business is named in memory of her late mother, whose birthday was the 26th of May.
Following a degree in Fine Art and a career in UX design, Libbie’s creative journey evolved organically, driven by her passion for colour and the joy of making tangible objects by hand. After years spent primarily behind a screen, she found herself seeking a more hands on creative outlet.
During lockdown, Libbie discovered polymer clay as a way to stay creatively engaged and keep her hands busy during an uncertain time. What started as a hobby – making gifts for friends and family – quickly turned into a deep passion for the medium and its endless possibilities. This passion led to the creation of 26th of May.
Libbie makes heartfelt, creative jewellery that blends thoughtful design with high quality materials. Specialising in semi-precious beaded necklaces & bracelets, and elegant, yet attention grabbing polymer clay earrings, each item is crafted with care, reflecting her passion for creativity and a commitment to celebrating individuality.
