Funky Jewellery

Jeanette was born on the 2nd of December 1980 in Oxford in the UK.

At the age of 7 Jeanettes Grandmother gave her a broken necklace so she could play with the beads and from that moment on she was hooked on jewellery making. Jeanette found a local bead shop and all the money she had went on beads.When Jeanette was 11 she started making jewellery out of polymer clay to sell at school.

Over the years the obsession grew, trying all sorts of materials to satisfy her urge to make jewellery.

With 3 years Crystal Healing training and a GNVQ in Art and Design, plus numerous visits to the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery covering PMC, silversmithing, & glass work, and now a diploma in PMC, Jeanette's love for jewellery making is now bigger than ever.

Jeanette now lives happily in Darlington  in the north East of England with her husband Ste, a budding writer, and their dog Scrappy. She's lucky enough to have a job that she loves in the local art shop.

Ste writes a column in Bead Magazine called "Living with a beader". It's about Jeanette and her jewellery addiction and what Ste has to put up with, and is published every two months.
