106 When did you start up and why? I turned a hobby into a business after my son was born in 2014 and established Holly Silver Jewellery from my kitchen cupboard. After a few years of evolving and growing I moved to a large studio in Kinross to allow for the business growth, leading to a re-brand to By Rebecca Jewellery in 2019. Growing a business as a single mother, my drive to make my business successful was strong in order to provide a future for my son and I. Sharing my story on social media about how my designs represented my life lessons and aiming to empower others, the business evolved from personalised jewellery to more bespoke services that stayed true to my goal of making jewellery that holds a story, your story. By Rebecca Studios in Kinross now has a team of jewellers where we offer a wide range of jewellery in both trade, online and bespoke services such as Reloved Remodelling and Custom Design. What prompted you to launch the business? A strive to build a future for myself and my son. To help share my life lessons and inspired jewellery to help promote wellbeing in others. What challenges have you overcome since the company’s launch? Being a single mother to my child and dealing with the pressure and demands of a growing business is continually difficult but I have never given up. My son has additional support needs, so managing a growing business alongside this, has been additionally challenging. Making jewellery to help promote awareness and education of mine and my son’s neurodiversity has also been something I have been focusing on. Tell us about your product offering.
