Missed the open studios?

Thanks to those who recently visited the open studios at Clerkenwell or New England House in Brighton. I hope you got some great Christmas presents.

If you missed them and want to keep up-to-date with news and future shows, please let us have your email address here.

I’m afraid we haven’t had time to update the website with current stock, although some items are listed and you can see them by using the ‘Buy’ links at the bottom of the page.

Otherwise please contact Amanda for details of current items in stock which can be posted in time for Christmas.

A selection of Amanda’s Christmas sale items will be on show at Ken Eardley’s open studio at New England House in Brighton this Thursday & Friday 12-8pm.

Another great Christmas shopping opportunity! Ken makes hand-built functional ceramics with hand-cut stencil decoration. Also at New England House – Bob & Blossom (great kids clothes), John Dilnot (to die for paper works), Rachel Eardley (lovely prints and jewellery), Sukie (design led stationary) and many more…

New England House provides much needed accommodation to up and coming as well as established organisations working in the public and private sectors. The building is an eight story building located in Brighton England. Opened in 1964 it is the worlds first purpose built high rise industrial business centre. It is now the vibrant home to a variety of organisations from multimedia companies to magazines from French bakery to fine art and ceramics.

Made in Clerkenwell says….

Avoid the nightmare before Christmas and take advantage of this magnificent opportunity to pick up distinctive pieces of jewellery, fashion, interior products, ceramics, accessories and traditional crafts, by almost 100 designers at the forefront of their disciplines. ‘Made In Clerkenwell’ is brimming with talent, showcasing some of the best work around, so prepare to be tempted and to put an end to bad presents! Whether selecting a unique gift or browsing for personal pleasure, this exceptional shopping treat will be topped off by meeting the maker and discovering the studio in which they work their magic!

Whether you’ve got an hour to pop in or a whole day to mooch, there’s lots to see! One ticket allows unlimited access over the 4 days, including Thursday’s launch event and Friday’s late night shopping.

Amanda has been making  engagement and wedding rings for private clients for nearly 20 years.

Many couples (and secretive men) are drawn to the simplicity, but also the bold, geometric and architectural nature of her collection.

Amanda is experienced in guiding you through the commissioning process, drawing out design ideas through conversation and often model making to ensure a good fit, style and wearability.

Amanda works in platinum, many types of gold, palladium, silver and has a wealth of experience in sourcing and buying semi precious and precious stones.

Please call or email to discuss or make an appointment.

With the price of gold rising at a steady rate, more and more clients are enquiring about the ‘trading in’ of their precious metals. Amanda is happy to discuss brokering the sale of precious metal towards commissioning or purchasing her work.

Metal can be sold on a trade basis at her reputable bullion dealer.

Diamonds from your existing jewellery can also be reused in new commissions.

There are handling fees for these services, depending on your purchase or commission requirements. All of this can be discussed.

It’s that time again, visit Amanda at Made in Clerkenwell Summer Open Studios this May, where she will be showing her current collection of design-led jewellery, alongside a sale of samples and end of range pieces.
