Grace Designed Jewelry, Kure Beach, NC
Australian living in America and loving it.
I’ve been handcrafting jewelry and accessories for 11 years now. I design and craft my work from a home studio in Oak Island North Carolina. I enjoy working with metal, using traditional silversmith and metalsmith techniques such as cold forming and incorporating vintage inspired patterns from the late 1800’s and early 1900s. I turn vintage silverware into timeless pieces of jewelry and ornamental items. I turn melted silver into sheet and craft into pressed pendants, earrings, brooches and rings. I love incorporating old silverware into new pieces, breathing new life into forgotten beautiful patterns. My birthplace Australia inspires me from its ochre colored outback to its jeweled ocean waters. My home in North Carolina has shown me another color pallet, with the stormy silvers of the oceans and vibrant colors found in the mountains to the plains. I design and craft to create whimsical, fun and timeless pieces that I hope you will enjoy.
