Jewellery Business Mentoring for Handmade Jewellery Designers
Build a more profitable, sustainable jewellery business, with warm guidance that saves years of trial and error!
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.
