About My Jewellery Journey
I began making handmade jewellery from shells in 2020 during the beginning of lockdown
I collected shells off the local beach and drilled holes in them, allowing me to connect them to the silver findings I had purchased
When I moved home to Cork, I joined a silversmithing course, whereby I learned how to make real silver jewellery from scratch.
