Handcrafted Jewellery, Made Stitch by Stitch
Welcome to Alba Wirework- I’m Dawn, the designer behind Alba Wirework, creating distinctive jewellery using intricate wire crochet and knitting techniques. My passion for shaping, twisting, and wrapping wire began years ago as a hobby — a natural evolution from a lifelong love of working with yarn.
What started as evening experiments beside a full-time job, has grown into something much more and I now work flexibly from my home studio near Knaresborough in North Yorkshire. Alba means dawn in Italian — a nod to both my name and my deep affection for all things Italian.
Every item starts with a simple sketch before I shape, loop, and crochet fine silver wire entirely by hand. This meticulous process produces delicate yet durable, lace-like textures. Because each piece is individually handcrafted, no two are ever identical — every item is truly one-of-a-kind.
Alba Wirework focuses on slow fashion, quality materials, and intentional design. I use recycled or responsibly sourced metals wherever possible, and my packaging is recycled, natural, fully recyclable, reusable, and plastic-free.
If you’re looking for unique jewellery, hand-crocheted pieces, or artisan gifts made in Yorkshire, you’re in the right place. Thank you for supporting independent makers and sustainable craftsmanship. ✨
Don’t forget to favourite my shop to see new one-of-a-kind pieces as they’re released!
