Craft in Focus: Maker in focus: Quo Vadis Jewellery - Handcrafted fine jewellery from Eddie and Sarah

 

 

At the age of seven Sarah received a DIY tumbled gem bracelet from her brother’s friend. She was obsessed! The shiny colours ignited a fire, she knew that working with gems and making jewellery would be something she would want to do forever. This humble bracelet was the only costume jewellery Sarah owned. Her mum believed in fine jewellery and occasionally would take Sarah to the jewellers to choose something of value. Sarah remembers going to buy her first pearl necklace only to discover they didn’t suit her and instead returned with a simple ruby ring, followed by other handmade pieces.

 

Not academically inclined and having already been working from the age of 12, Sarah tried her hand at many things with her sights firmly set on finding her way into a role that would vocationally teach her the skills to make her own designs. Working for a jewellery company in Oxfordshire taught her the skills of the trade but by 23 she was already crafting her own designs to a dedicated client base and developing a name for herself at small craft events.

This further fuelled Sarah into building her own jewellery brand of making jewellery for clients whose passion for quality gemstones and unique, handcrafted designs drafted from careful conversation and the stones themselves.

Crafts magazine’s latest issue is a celebration of individuality and reinvention. We meet the materials experts bringing a sense of tactility to the digital realm, go behind the scenes at east London’s raucous drag scene and enter the high-tech parallel universe of New York-based artist Saya Woolfalk.

Plus, we launch a new series venturing inside the homes of collectors to see how people live with craft (in this case, everything from ceramics to ukuleles and Inuit sculptures), and meet the makers reshaping Berlin.
