Introducing Mel & Love Fool
Before jewellery, it was through cheffing that I discovered an outlet for my creativity. I left the hospitality industry to raise my two daughters, but over time, the urge to create again became strong. I enrolled in a local silver smithing course, where I discovered that the fabrication of metal, the vibrant and varied gemstones and the many design possibilities excited me. My love for jewellery design was born.
Love Fool Jewellery came about with a desire to create affordable, fun, hand made pieces of a high quality. I love to escape to my studio and create unique pieces using a mixed range of metals including Copper, Brass, Sterling Silver and Resin enamel. Inspiration is drawn from many places, including experiences, landscapes and the urban environment. All pieces are hand made by me in my
Christchurch Studio.
