A Little Update From the Bench 🤍

The story behind the shop closing, and what's next for my creative journey.

If you've found your way to this page, you might be wondering why the shop is closing, so I wanted to share a little more about what's been happening behind the scenes.

Over the past little while, I've found myself at a bit of a crossroads creatively. What started as a love for creating beaded and wire-wrapped jewellery has been such a special chapter of my journey. It's allowed me to experiment, learn new techniques, bring ideas to life and, most importantly, connect with so many wonderful people along the way.

But sometimes, as much as you love something, you reach a point where you feel ready for something different.

I've come to realise that my passion for beaded and wire-wrapped jewellery isn't quite where it used to be. I've felt a growing pull towards learning new techniques, exploring different materials and challenging myself creatively. Rather than continuing to create just for the sake of keeping the shop going, I feel it's important to listen to that feeling and give myself the space to discover what comes next.

A New Chapter: Learning the Art of Silversmithing

In the New Year, I've decided to take a step back from running the online shop and dedicate some time to learning a completely new craft: silversmithing.

It's something I've been increasingly drawn to, and I'm excited by the idea of starting at the beginning again. There will be new skills to learn, plenty of mistakes to make, and lots of experimenting along the way, but that's all part of the process.

I want to give myself the time and freedom to learn without the pressure of keeping up with the everyday demands of running a jewellery business.

This isn't necessarily goodbye to jewellery making. It's more of a change in direction, and hopefully the beginning of something really special.

The Farewell Sale

To help fund this next chapter, I'll be having a permanent 20% off farewell sale across every remaining piece in the shop.

The discount is automatically applied at checkout, so there's no need for a discount code.

Every piece currently available is part of this final collection of beaded and wire-wrapped jewellery. Once an item sells out, it won't be restocked.

It's a little bittersweet to be saying goodbye to these pieces, but I'm also excited to send them off to new homes and make room for what's ahead.

The shop will close in the New Year, so if there's something you've had your eye on, now is the time to make it yours.

Thank You for Being Here 🤍

Whether you've purchased a piece, followed along on social media, shared my work with a friend or simply enjoyed seeing what I've been creating, I want you to know how much I appreciate it.

This little jewellery business has been such a meaningful part of my creative journey, and it wouldn't have been the same without the people who have supported it.

I'm incredibly grateful for this chapter, for everything it's taught me and for all the lovely people I've met along the way.

For now, it's time to put down the wire, step away from the beads and pick up some new tools.

Here's to learning something new, embracing change and seeing where creativity takes me next.

With love and gratitude, 

Thank you for being part of this chapter.
