Welcome to Dandelion Handmade Jewellery, the creative world of Monica Joyce, an artisan jeweller dedicated to crafting exquisite, one-of-a-kind pieces in precious metals. With a passion for traditional craftsmanship and a love for nature, Monica’s work embodies elegance, individuality, and timeless artistry.
A Passion for Craftsmanship
Monica studied jewellery design at Northbrook College in West Sussex, where she trained under Clara Vichi, a respected contemporary jewellery designer and maker. Using 100% recycled precious metals, her dedication to the craft is evident in every piece she creates, using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. Working with tools and methods that have been used for centuries, Monica ensures that each item is handcrafted with precision and care.
Sustainable & Nature-Inspired Designs
Every creation at Dandelion Handmade Jewellery is designed and crafted individually, resulting in truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. Monica takes her inspiration from the beauty of nature, incorporating delicate elements such as leaves, feathers, and animals into her designs. This organic influence gives her jewellery a distinctive, artistic character, seamlessly blending craftsmanship with natural elegance.
Beyond aesthetics, sustainability is at the heart of Monica’s work. All silver and gold used in her jewellery is 100% recycled, ensuring that every piece is made with eco-conscious integrity. By using reclaimed metals, Monica not only preserves the earth’s natural resources but also reduces the environmental impact of traditional mining, making her jewellery an ethical choice for those who appreciate beauty with a purpose.
Upcycling Antique Jewellery – Giving New Life to the Old
Sustainability and history play a key role in Monica’s jewellery-making process. She specializes in upcycling antique jewellery and heirlooms, breathing new life into 100-year-old silver spoons, vintage gold, and other historical finds. By carefully transforming these treasures into contemporary, wearable art, Monica preserves their history while creating bespoke pieces that tell a story. Each reimagined piece carries a connection to the past, reinterpreted through artisanal craftsmanship for today’s wearer.
At Dandelion Handmade Jewellery, each creation is more than just an accessory—it is a meaningful, sustainable work of art, designed to be cherished for generations.
