My name is Mandy Jones and I have been creating unique jewellery since 2004. I am a self-representing artist and totally self taught, I have loved every moment of the journey so far, I work from a garden studio in sunny Liverpool, UK :) & divide my time between designing my beads, making them and turning some of them into jewellery.
My beads and jewellery are inspired by so many things! I am a keen photographer and often a captured image will be the beginning of a bead or a piece of jewellery, I love colour, and experimenting with it, I love the magic of the sea, and this comes through strongly in my work, but really I will find beauty in the most unlikely places, I hope that I can stamp my own style in the world of lampwork beadmaking...my aim is to make wearable art which makes a statement...I want my work to stand out from the crowd...enjoy!
My Studio & some of the Glass Stash!
Last spring I tried lampworking, having previously always bought beads from other artists, and am now officially hooked....so my jewellery now only contains rockpool beads.
It's a big leap for me to begin selling through my own website, but I have always believed in making jewellery and now beads with heart, and that this should translate to the jewellery. I want my customers to feel good when they wear one of my pieces, that is what it's all about for me.
I sell my lampwork creations to other jewellery designers, but will happily make any set featured into jewellery. Just ask :)
I will also take commissions, you give me a brief outline of colour & style, and I will come up with something beautiful for you.
Any questions please email me at: enquiries@rockpooljewels.com.
