❥ All of my jewellery designs are handmade by me. EVERY piece is a one off - a unique creation - I make them from my intuition, with care and love. And most of my creations have a story to go with them of how they came to be! Each piece is waiting to meet it's new companion.

❥ Since being a young girl i have been fascinated with the circle of life and death in nature and i have perpetually noticed the beauty within decay. The mysterious concept of death has always been my greatest inspiration.

❥Instead of fearing death i try to see it in a different perspective, its just the next stage into the unknown, its inevitable for ALL human beings. As some of my jewellery pieces use morbid materials such and bones, dead animal parts from roadkill and real naturally deceased insects i liken them to a sort of wearable ’memento Mori’, which symbolically translates as ‘’remember that you have to die. ‘’ I make my pieces beautiful and dark at the same time - hence the name- DeadGoodJewellery. I hope the juxtaposed elements in my work bring the wearer a sense of peace! Because death, just like life, is a gift.

❥“If death causes you no pain when you are dead, it’s foolish to allow the fear of it to cause you pain now.” – Epicurus

❥ I use a wide range of materials in my work such as Roadkill animals i have found whilst out cycling, foraged bones, crystals, naturally deceased insects, dried mushrooms , lichen, moss, stones as well as repurposed found objects and copper and steel salvaged from skips and dumps. Everything i use is ethically and legally obtained.

❥ I use bio based crystal resin in my work which is a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to standard resin.

❥ I am a one woman show, i make everything by hand and uphold my small business all by myself in my tiny studio at home in Lancashire, UK, and i have been established since 2011. Its my passion to create affordable Art-to-wear jewellery that is as unique as yourself. Rest assured if you ever purchase a piece from me it is the only one of its kind.

❥I am also a self taught taxidermist and a Fine art Bachelor in painting. I am heavily influenced by surrealism and dada, ( think Max Ernst) i just love the juxtaposition of different animal and plant parts along with things like dolls eyes and anthropomorphic beings. ( this will make more sense if you look at my taxidermy and paintings on my website www.nicolahebson.com)

❥I have been personally endorsed by Famous illustrator Brian Froud. He came into my stall at the fairy festival in Cornwall and bought a few of my pieces and we had a long conversation in which he said i was doing ''very important work''. I am still in disbelief this actually happened , as his work has been a major influence in my entire career even going back to my childhood . Its crazy how paths end up crossing that are meant to cross!

❥My work has been featured on several tv shows such as channel 4's documentary ''all creatures great and stuffed'' , history channel's ''no county for old men'' , BBC north west tonight and Itv's ''This morning''. I have also had numerous articles written about me online, most notable include VICE.COM, BUST magazine and beautiful decay.

You might bump into me on my travels around many u.k festivals such as Equinox festival, boomtown, beatherder festival, triplicity, Solfest, pendle witch camp and many other small pagan style festivals! Please come say hi!!
