Sheila Fleet

Sheila grew up on a farm at Hoxa Head in Orkney surrounded by views of the countryside and of the Pentland Firth, the strong tidal strait that separates Orkney from mainland Scotland. 

Sheila was accepted into Edinburgh College of Art, moving to Scotland’s capital city in 1963 to begin her course. During her time in Edinburgh, Sheila joined a lapidary club where she collected, polished and cut stones. This led to her specialising in jewellery and fashion design in her third year at college.

Sheila Fleet Jewellery is a family-run business, and Sheila has had the invaluable support of her son, Martin, and her daughter-in-law, Mairi, in the day-to-day running and growth of the business.

Sheila continues to be the sole designer for the business and is constantly adding to her ever-growing number of collections.
