Lightning crackled, sparks flew and colourful bokeh filled the night. An idea came on jewelled wings and Jewelflyt was born.

Working from her home in the depths of the countryside, Vickie forges elegant pieces of jewellery, using fine sliver from the mountains, jewels made from the sparkle of light, crystals and glass from the Earth itself, and the pieces of souls that float without a home.

Sparkling beads thread onto a sliver wire, another piece is done. It finds its true owner and is sent across the turbulent seas.

Vickie creates elegance with her jewellery and like all artists; nothing is more pleasurable than sharing a creation.

Ok, I have to admit it's not actually that dramatic when I make jewellery (although I do think creating is at least a little magic) - but it sounds good, doesn't it? :)

I've always loved creating things & started making beaded jewellery many (many) years ago, to wear myself, to give as gifts & eventually to sell in the small business my family & I run.

A few years ago, I tried precious metal clay & fell in love :) I work with lots of organic shapes & textures (such as leaves), as well as creating my own textures using some of my drawings. I just love coming up with new designs, or tweaking old ones to create something new.

Many of my pieces are one-of-a-kind, never to be repeated. And every piece is made by hand so no two are ever exactly alike.
