The Crafty Curator
Hi! I'm Carrie the Owner/Maker behind Fragile Elite Design. Growing up my passion was music, reading and performing in plays and I am also obsessed with history and the Victorian Era. I’ve sang in Goth, Rock and Punk bands and used to customise my own clothes and jewellery for performances. After my last band split up that was when my jewellery making really took off as all my creative juices needed some place to go. My business is bijou but I am incredibly proud that I will be celebrating my 10 year Anniversary in 2020 of a business that I created from scratch with my own hands.
My style has been labelled with the “eclectic” tag which pretty much reflects my personality. I love to produce unique pieces of jewellery as well as putting my own personal slant on classic and vintage favourites. My quality control is very strict and I use lead and nickel free components only. Each piece of my jewellery is designed and made to last and give years of wear. I use a variety of finishes in my jewellery utilising whichever finish is the most suitable for that particular piece. I use hand glazing techniques and resin to create lightweight or 3 dimensional pieces, and glass when weight isn't an issue.
I owe a lot to all the buyers and supporters of Fragile Elite Design and am very lucky to have found myself a small niche frequented by some fabulous like minded people. My love of jewellery making never wanes, I strive for as perfect a finish as is humanly possible as this is my work and my passion and I appreciate every single buyer - I want each and every customer to love whatever they have bought from me.
Many thanks for reading my ramblings and have a most excellent day.
Carrie
Fragile Elite Design
