Zelda

 

Studio Zelda started with a simple vision: to create beautiful, bold, and uniquely shaped handmade jewellery. After spending too long in uninspiring office roles, I took the opportunity to transform my lingering idea into reality—crafting a distinctive style of jewellery. I made the leap to leave my job and pursue a passion I had contemplated for years.

I enrolled as a full-time student at the Design Centre Enmore - TAFE NSW, where I learned jewellery design and manufacturing from expert instructors, earning qualifications in both areas. Over the next few years, I dedicated myself to perfecting the unique shapes and styles I envisioned, ensuring they were crafted into captivating pieces.

My fascination with cloisonné enamel began during a trip to Japan, where I encountered a stunning piece that showcased vibrant colours and playful shapes. This experience opened up a world of possibilities, and I knew I wanted to explore this art form.

I devoted considerable time to deepening my expertise in this unique skill through training and coursework, eventually traveling to California to study with a world-renowned enamellist to refine my techniques further.

Cloisonné enamelling is the ancient technique of creating jewellery using fine wires to build the cloisons (shapes) into which an enamel is applied before it is fired and polished. Each piece is handcrafted from sterling silver with bold designs, made for those who wish to make a statement.

I hope you will be as captivated by this unique art form as me. I’m excited to introduce the limited collections and trust you will enjoy the experience!
