Hello and welcome to my shop.

My love for painting started over 14 years ago when I enrolled for a folk art painting course. My favourite things to paint for many years were teddy bears. More recently I did a drawing correspondence course, which was mostly using pencil and water colours.

I have always wanted to work from home and about three years ago I walked into the office and glanced down at my 80 odd tubes of paint and suddenly thought, why not try to incorporate my love for painting into a job. What to paint on was the next question, until hubby came in from the workshop with an experimental piece of aluminium. After numerous test runs and design experiments, I now craft original jewellery, which I hope you will enjoy. I am a fuss pot when it comes to quality and each piece has been handcrafted to the highest quality.

Each design has been drawn and or painted. The design is then placed on a highly polished piece of aluminium and resined over the top. The aluminium backing is a solid 3mm thick for the pendants and 1.6mm thick for the earrings. The chains and clasps are made from strong, non-tarnish stainless steel. Earring findings are sterling silver.

Please note that variations of the original image may occur as all my art is hand crafted by me. It is part of my work that there is some slight variations in each piece....this is what makes my work unique and no two items will ever be the same.

For a little variation I have also started crafting jewellery where funky images are set into antique bronze bezels and glass cabochons are placed over the top.

The earring wires for this antique bronze range are made from NIOBIUM, which is a rare inert metal so it is HYPOALLERGENIC and terrific for sensitive ears. The wires are 100% niobium...the colour is not a coating. (I have very sensitive ears and find these wires are just awesome).

This is a very feminine, pretty range of jewellery.


I hope my "little pieces" of art found at fathom53jewelllery brighten your day.
