Adorn Yourself With Beauty
Hi there, I'm Stacey, the creator and metalsmith here at Garnish Jewellery.
I believe jewellery has the power to make you feel extra special. That’s why I named my business Garnish Jewellery, a friendly reminder to adorn yourself with something beautiful every day.
Crafting jewellery is an awe-inspiring, magical process. I can take a raw piece of metal and just by using my trusted hand tools and metalsmithing skills, I can transform that precious metal into a gorgeous, wearable piece of art. It surprises me every single time how it all comes together.
Working with gold, silver and brass, as well as raw gemstones, I design and make unique pieces of jewellery that celebrate minimalism and pay homage to nature’s raw beauty.
I create jewellery because it makes me happy and brings happiness to those who wear it. I hand-forge every piece of jewellery in my studio with love, skill, and a commitment to exceptional quality. I want you to be able to Garnish yourself for all the years to come!
Visit My Seaside Studio and Shop
Today, I spend my days living my dream as a jewellery maker and run my own working studio and boutique in the charming capital city of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown.
It’s an honour to do what I love each day and welcome smiling people into my little studio by the sea. Please do drop in and visit me at 89 Water Street.
In my shop, you’ll find an array of my latest jewellery creations and most days you’ll find me behind the counter, working in my open studio. There’s a very good chance you’ll also get to meet my two best fur friends, Willow and Fern.
How Did I Get Here?
Growing up, I didn’t consider myself creative. The closest I came to exploring my artistic side was making friendship bracelets as a teenager. I loved working with the beads and gifting my bracelets to friends, but it never struck me that creating jewelry was something I could aspire to do as a living.
It wasn’t until I was in my twenties and living in Toronto that I took my first tentative steps into the world of jewelry-making. I was feeling a little directionless, so I started making beaded necklaces and eventually found myself selling them at craft fairs. And people were buying my creations! It was the first of many revelations that maybe jewelry-making was my calling.
It just so happened that I lived down the street from George Brown College, which offered a two-year metalsmithing program. It felt like it was meant to be, so I enrolled and that was the official beginning of my lifelong love affair with jewelry-making.
Loads of studying, one graduation, many craft fairs, three tiny home studios, countless hours of hammering, and here I am living my dream.
