This is great!
Eight years after graduating from university, two friends from Co Antrim have spoken of their delight at setting up their own jewellery business and receiving recognition from prestigious organisations.
"In particular, we're both fascinated by the man-made ancient ruins found in the landscape, which I think is very unique to here," Laura told Belfast Live. Martin said: "It was quite a big deal for us to be involved in the SHINE programme, as we were only one of nine UK designers to be chosen for that. Goldsmiths is probably the most prestigious organisation there is in the jewellery industry in the UK, which makes this quite a big deal. These are things you aim towards while you're studying."
For anyone wishing to follow their own dreams into a career in jewellery making, Martin and Laura said you need to "get yourself out there and go for it."
