Just K Jewellery: here we go...

here we go...

I've been meaning to do this for ages....

I'm Karen & I'm passionate about making my own jewellery - I enjoy having & running my websites too.

I write a few ramblings on my customer forum on the Craft Markets website but they are just about making jewellery & running the website, Just K Jewellery. I have another website called The Secret Jewellery Boutique but intend, eventually, to merge the two together and just have one name - Just K Jewellery.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...

I started making jewellery for myself a few years ago and soon became totally addicted. I borrowed books from the library and bought lots too.

I discovered resin after going on a silver clay workshop in 2007. Whilst I loved making the pure silver jewellery it was adding colour that interested me. I tried enamelling and might have pursued that direction if I hadn't discovered you could use coloured resin instead of enamel to achieve the effect I was looking for.

Then I bought a book about resin jewellery and as soon as it arrived I knew this was what I wanted to do. I struggled in the early days as there were virtually no supplies or moulds available in the UK. Everything was trial and error - and there were lots of errors. Luckily today both the resin and moulds are more easy to source in the UK.

Since the early days I have developed my techniques and skills. I'm constantly experimenting - "what will this look like in resin" - or making my own moulds from items I find.
