A love of pretty things has led to..... Laura Walker Jewellery.
Working from my little studio, a converted outbuilding in our garden, in the Poitou-Charente region of France I create personalised hand stamped metal jewellery.
I use individual steel stamps to create pieces using a variety of different metals. Each letter is individually stamped by hand onto a metal blank, which is then filed, oxidised and polished.
Many of the items can be personalised if you have special dates, words that you would like me to use, making your gift truly unique. I have a huge selection of beads which can be used to add further customisation to your piece.
Hand stamped jewellery is not meant to look perfect, very much like my hand writing!. Letters will not be in a totally straight line and the depth of each letter can often vary. All of this only adds to the charm of the item.
Laura Walker Jewellery was created in 2005, throughout this time I have worked and experimented with various different styles of jewellery, my stamped metal jewellery being my very latest range.
I thoroughly enjoy this latest 'craze' of mine, being able to personalise jewellery with special dates and words can be a very inspirational feeling!. Life has many milestones, treasure them and wear them daily.
We have lived in rural France since 2009. My husband has his own plumbing and heating business, which is our 'proper' business and I assist with the daily administrative tasks.
However my true passion (not including my 2 gorgeous young children) is my jewellery business. I find my only problem is never having enough time to 'create'...!!!.
