The Maker

Meet your Bespoke Artisan...

Venessa is an ACA-approved counsellor and clinical supervisor who works from a trauma-informed and person-centred approach. When she is not counselling, she is in her home studio hand-forging jewellery. This is her passion project, not her core business.

Venessa learned the art of metalsmithing when she worked for Simon Sturt-Bray Jewellery Design between 2002 – 2007. Now retired, Simon taught her the fundamentals of fabrication and repair in the years they worked together. Despite making a career change into human services, Venessa has continued to grow her home studio. Her passion now includes practising the art of stone-setting and hand-engraving, mentored to her by Maurice at Metal and Stone Jewellers.

Venessa has always had a love of crystals and gemstones. In 2008, she completed the Certificate IV in Gemmology with the Gemmological Association of Australia, going on to teach the qualification with the same organisation for the two years following her graduation. Combining the scientific knowledge with her background in alternative therapies and energetic spiritual healing, Venessa aimed to create talismans and amulets imbued with a harmonic vibration and deep meaning. After spending years teaching Rei-ki, creating symbolic jewellery became an ongoing passion.

Today, Venessa may not get into the studio as often as she likes, but the passion is still there. The love of creating never fades, and it provides a healthy break from her clinical role. If you would like to enquire about a commission, please be aware that construction may take some time as this is now her hobby, not her daily business.

How it is made

From raw metal to finished jewel

I

Conceive

Each piece begins with a conversation or a sketch — exploring form, the right stone, and what the piece needs to say.

II

Forge

Raw silver or gold sheet and wire is cut, annealed, and shaped entirely by hand — no casting, no moulds.

III

Engrave & Set

Hand engraving is cut directly into the metal. Stones are set by hand in individually made settings.

IV

Finish

Final patination, polishing, and inspection. The piece is stamped and packaged before being sent to you, anywhere in the world.
