I'm going to go with yes
and ask what you have in mind

I thought that someone small, beautiful and liable to go up in value might be nice.
Maybe silverware or glassware?

Ignore the twee stuff and look at the more art deco designs. Fucking lovely.

some interesting stuff there
I have to admit, I know what sort of modern things she likes, but not so much what her taste is in the sort of stuff in your link

Problem with anything like that though is...
1/ It's of a 'time' and will therefore date quite quickly.

2/ It is easily broken and the wedding gift you gift your other half will have more sentimental value than anything. So she'll get an epic sadface if you break it while dusting.

There is so much beautiful artisan stuff around, especially in your area.

that is true
my mum is an artisan. No website though, because her output isn't really high enough.
