About Us
I have crafted in various forms for most of my life, sewing, knitting, crochet, bobbin lace, collage and so on. In 2021 I discovered jewellery making with genuine gemstones and this has become my passion, the best craft / hobby ever! I never expected to be able to buy and work with ‘the real thing’ but here I am 10 years on still discovering gemstones I have never heard of but love just the same as the more common stones and I have branched out into silverwork and stone setting now as well.
Before Panache Arts I had taken to hand making jewellery as a hobby, it didn’t take me long to realise that as I really enjoyed it and I was ending up with lots of jewellery as stock, so I decided to start selling it at craft fairs and using the money to fund more jewellery projects and that has kept me going for a while.
During my time at craft fairs lots of people have asked me if I have a website and I kept having to say no which was a shame, but now I have and here it is! We set up panache arts so that we could showcase my work and allow people to browse and ask any questions they have, and hopefully keep selling jewellery to fund further projects and keep the cycle going.
