Joanna's Story...
During a year's art course after college, a tutor pointed out that everything I drew or made was detailed, intricate and small. It was suggested I choose a jewellery design course at university, it seemed perfect for me.
I graduated from the Birmingham School of Jewellery UCE with BA Hons after three lovely years of exploring my creativity, and moved to the beautiful city of Bath gaining a job as a jewellery maker and tutor. One of the courses I was asked to lead was tiara making, this was when my love for bridal accessories began. I made a headband for a bride to be and seeing her reaction was so lovely, I wanted to make pieces that would be treasured by the wearer and hold special meaning for them. Being a small part of someone's wedding day is a great honour.
I started my own business by spending evenings and weekends getting an Etsy shop up and running. I was thrilled with the interest in my products and so grateful for every sale that enabled me to eventually become self employed and spend every day doing something I love.
Much time, skill, care and dedication goes into making each piece, so I believe only luxurious, top quality materials will do them justice. It is my passion to create accessories that make a bride feel beautiful and special on her most important day, and can then be treasured forever.
I take inspiration from nature; blossoming buds, beautiful blooms, fronds and foliage, from all things boho, and from current bridal trends. I thrive on creativity, so I also welcome the opportunity to discuss a client's personal dream design and make bespoke pieces for them.
