Mentoring and Coaching for Jewellery Designers

Running a handmade jewellery business is so rewarding, but it can also feel relentless. Many talented makers give up before they find their footing. It is not just about making beautiful pieces, if only! We’re also expected to:

  • price our work confidently, even with volatile silver prices

  • create collections that sell

  • market ourselves consistently

  • build an audience

  • make it financially sustainable

  • somehow keep loving what we make, when it starts to feel like a job.

And often, we’re doing all of that alone, whilst caring for others, or juggling other work.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what’s working in your jewellery business, mentoring with me can give you clarity, direction, and a much quicker path forward.

Why Work With Me?

I've been in the trenches of making handmade jewellery for 15 years. During that time I've:

  • built a loyal customer base, with 1800 newsletter subscribers

  • grown an audience (10,000 followers on instagram, 2000 on Facebook, and sales from Google.

  • developed collections that sell

  • navigated rising material costs and pricing challenges

  • sold jewellery in shops, galleries, markets and online

  • refined what works (and what doesn’t)

  • made it happen, despite being self taught, and a mum with many commitments

  • I'm also a qualified psychotherapist, so I understand the internal struggles, blocks, and self-doubt that so often hold creative business owners back, just as much as the practical stuff does.

  • made a living doing something I love!

This is real, practical insight from me, someone who understands the handmade jewellery world, not generic business advice, including the creative, emotional, and financial sides of it.

The real value of mentoring

Most jewellery designers lose time (and money) by:

  • underpricing their work

  • creating pieces that don’t sell

  • second-guessing decisions

  • trying everything and not knowing what’s working

  • feeling stuck and losing confidence

  • going around in circles

  • not understanding why they aren’t in profit.

This niche small business mentoring helps you:

  • save months (or years) of trial and error

  • make clearer, more confident decisions

  • focus on what moves your business forward

  • build a jewellery business that is both creative and financially sustainable

  • work on money mindset issues

  • learn from my mistakes, wrong turns, and wasted time and effort

  • achieve the lifestyle you’ve hoped for

  • feel supported on your journey
