jewellery moves
My name is Fiona and I’m the owner, designer and maker behind Jewellery Moves. I
have 20 years experience in the Jewellery Industry, a BA from Edinburgh College
of Art and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London. Jewellery Moves began
when I was living in Cyprus with my husband and 3 small boys. I’d previously
trained and worked as a jeweller and despite moving around A LOT as a military
wife, I always made sure that wherever we ended up I had my workbench and tools.
Living by the sea had given me a vision of putting these tools to use by running
jewellery workshops on the beach - I mean, who wouldn’t want to do that? And so
Jewellery Moves was born! Most Saturdays you would find me teaching small groups
whilst looking out onto the Med and interest grew. I then started to offer
people the opportunity to host workshops in their own homes… Dining room tables
were transformed into workbenches and groups of friends gathered for girls’
nights in and coffee mornings with a twist. It was amazing to see what could be
created with a basic set of tools and some guidance; high-end silver jewellery
that certainly didn’t look like it had been made at a dining room table (even
though it had).
