This has been a whirl wind romance!!
As an artist / graphic designer I am always looking to record beauty, whether through drawing, painting or photography.....and so began my fascination and love affair with making jewelry!
I had absolutely no idea when I started this little shop years ago that I would be connected across the globe with so many amazing, inspiring and thoughtful people!
I assumed I was making Jewellery - FULLSTOP!! How naive of me to think that that would involve just me!!
This journey so far has been an amazing one and I'm coming up to my 10th year!!
My jewellery style has evolved over the years, but at its heart I like to make simple, beautiful jewellery that uses top quality materials and is built to last!
Alexandrite has to be my favourite gemstone to work with...I'm mesmerised by its beauty and captivating colour shifts.
All the jewellery you see on here has been originally designed and handmade by myself. I start off with sketches of each idea then spend hours working each design through until I'm happy with the end product.
A huge, heart felt thank you, to you my lovely customers who have supported me and bought my jewellery since I launched my little Etsy shop, I can't tell you what a privilege it is to make special gifts for you and your loved ones. It's priceless!
I hope you enjoy having a look around my shop and thank you for taking the time to stop by.

'When buying from an artist maker, you're buying more than just an object/painting.
You are buying hundreds of hours of failures & experimentation. You are buying days, weeks, and months of frustration and pure joy. You aren't JUST BUYING A THING.
You're buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a moment in someone's life.
Most importantly you're buying the artist more time to do something they are passionate about' - 'Rebekah Joy Plett'
