Mother’s Day giveaway!⁠ ⁠ It’s that time o Mother’s Day giveaway!⁠ ⁠ It’s that time of the year again, when we get to celebrate our wonderful mums.⁠ ⁠ And we want to celebrate them all! – the mums, stepmums, grandmas, aunts and big sis’s – both living and those who are no longer with us – our actual mums as well as those who stood up and took on the job out of love. Those amazing women who care for, nurture and support us, no matter what. Who are always in our corner and who love us unconditionally. For the bandaids on skinned knees, the advice when someone hurts us, the high fives when we get that job we wanted, and for not saying anything (much) when we come home at 3am when we were supposed to be home by 12!⁠ ⁠ So here’s my little gift for someone’s special mum this Mother’s Day, Sunday 8 May. I’m giving away a pair of these new gold vermeil Huggie earrings with a beautiful freshwater pearl drop. These are so new they’re not even in my online store yet. Valued at $90.⁠ ⁠ To enter:⁠ * Follow me⁠ * Tag three friends⁠ * (Optional) tell me why your mum is so special.⁠ ⁠ I won’t be judging your comments – the winner will be chosen randomly – but let’s use this opportunity to celebrate our mums right here.⁠ ⁠ The winner will be announced on Sunday 1 May. No later than 6pm via my stories.⁠ ⁠ Good luck!

As you probably know by now, I work a lot with met As you probably know by now, I work a lot with metal clay in my designs. This is an example of a piece I originally created in fine silver precious metal clay - a process that meant I had to make each pair individually which, while fun to do, is time-consuming. ⁠ ⁠ These earrings were so popular, they're now part of my permanent range so I now get them cast, which means I can make them more quickly. ⁠ ⁠ Sustainability is so important to me and I love that metal clay is a fully recycled material. So I'm happy to say that the caster I use is the only one in Australia (I believe), using fully recycled sterling silver in their work. ⁠ ⁠ So if you buy a piece of silver jewellery from me, it will be made from either fine silver or sterling silver, each of which is a fully recycled and sustainable material.⁠ ⁠ These babies are now back in stock! You'll find them on my website, and I'll have them @therosestmarket on 2 April and 7 and 14 May. Hope to see you there.

Back when I was doing a short course in metalsmith Back when I was doing a short course in metalsmithing, someone in the class asked the tutor about metal clay. I'd never heard of metal clay, so I was interested in the response. ⁠ ⁠ Traditional smiths use sheet metal and wire and skills such as filing, sawing, soldering, drilling and polishing, as well as 'lost wax' techniques, to make jewellery. Metal clay, according to the tutor, is considered outside the traditional realm and not taken all that seriously by 'traditionalists'.⁠ ⁠ But many of the tools and skills needed to make jewellery from metal clay are similar to those used in traditional smithing and this amazing medium is so versatile, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the craftsperson. ⁠ ⁠ Silver metal clay is made from minute particles of fine silver (it comes in other metals too such as bronze, copper and gold, but silver is the main one I work with), as well as an organic binder and water. From rolling, forming and drying to firing with a torch or a kiln, once fired metal clay behaves just like sheet metal. The piece can be soldered to other components or have stones added, before finishing with filing, sanding and polishing. ⁠ ⁠ I love that fine silver metal clay is made from fully recycled silver so it's a wholly sustainable product. That's a big plus in my studio as I work to ensure my practice is as environmentally-friendly as possible. ⁠ ⁠ You won't know to look at a piece whether it's made from fine silver clay (999) or cast in recycled sterling silver (925), as they look and feel the same. But if you'd like to know more about the components in a piece of jewellery you're interested in, please shoot me a DM.

As I start to think about new collections for 2022 As I start to think about new collections for 2022, I took a moment to look back over the past couple of years and see how far my jewellery has come in such a short time. From simple handmade beaded hoops, bracelets and silver disc pieces, to exploring the world of gold jewellery and the addition of 14kt gold filled wire, and then adding 22kt gold plated discs to the collection. And more recently, my latest offering with the addition of beautiful and timeless freshwater pearls. I've come a long way in 2.5 years.⁠ ⁠ My jewellery has evolved as my skills have grown and developed, and as I love life-long learning I'm all about the next new thing to learn. It keeps me excited and motivated, and wanting to push ahead with new pieces. Of course, I have to balance that with the fact that this always means new tools and supplies! ⁠ ⁠ I wonder where 2022 will take me ... I have a few ideas up my sleeve ... and I'm excited about seeing my ideas come to life and bringing them to you throughout the year.

To me, jewellery💎is so much more than just some To me, jewellery💎is so much more than just something pretty to wear. Depending on the occasion it's worn, whether it's gifted or for yourself, or a 'just because' purchase, it helps to create memories that live beyond that first moment. ⁠ ⁠ Do you have a special piece that brings back memories? I hope so. And I hope you get to create some new ones this year too. Enjoying Noosa and creating a few of my own right now!

Gee, how do you review the year we've just had in Gee, how do you review the year we've just had in order to set goals and plan for the coming year, when it was such an insanely abnormal year? Or two years, for that matter! It's pretty darn hard, because my business was born right before the pandemic, so there hasn't been a 'normal' trading year to compare anything to.⁠ ⁠ But looking back, I'm pretty proud of how far I've come, through some dismal days, all the lockdowns, retail closures at @incube8r, where I'm a 'cuber', and crickets where the cash register was concerned.⁠ ⁠ In the past two years, I've developed a strong brand, created new collections, upped my photography game, collabed with the fabulous @thegrazingfoxmelbourne and had some amazing days @therosestmarket. So I'm excited about what 2022 holds - onwards and upwards - and I'm looking forward to more markets, meeting more of my lovely customers and seeing where my little biz takes me this year.

These beautiful, classic earrings feature discs wi These beautiful, classic earrings feature discs with earring studs and stunning pearl drops.⁠ ⁠ Each disc is cast in recycled sterling silver and then plated in 22kt gold, for a rich deep gold look. Discs measure approximately 18mm in diameter. ⁠ ⁠ The pearls are freshwater, meaning they were farmed, or cultured, in fresh water as opposed to the naturally occurring salt water pearls. While perfectly round pearls are the ideal, I think the beautiful organic shape of these freshwater ones is part of their appeal and adds to their gorgeous boho look. Each pearl is hand-wrapped by me onto the disc with 14kt gold filled wire, and measures approximately 15mm in length, although this varies with each pearl.⁠ ⁠ While the discs are absolutely consistent in shape and texture, the organic nature of the pearls makes each pair different and unique. ⁠ ⁠ Available on my website.

So what does my little jewellery brand stand for? So what does my little jewellery brand stand for? Here are three key things:⁠ ⁠ ❣️ Wearability - my jewellery is simple, elegant and a little bit boho, very easy to wear anywhere, any time.⁠ ❣️ Quality - I make it to last, using semi-precious beads and stones, freshwater pearls, 14kt gold filled metals, fine silver and sterling silver wire and findings, all made by hand, by me, with love.⁠ ❣️ Sustainability - the fine silver I use is a fully recycled material, my sterling silver cast pieces are made from recycled silver (from the only company in Australia that I'm aware of that is doing this), and I recycle wherever possible.⁠ ⁠ What's not to love?
