Tesoro

Welcome to my website! My name is Judi and I've been designing jewelry for over 15 years. My earlier designs were mostly beaded work with silver, Swarovski crystals and semi-precious stones, but I've recently embarked on a new creative adventure by taking up metal smithing. This has opened up a whole new way for me to use materials and experiment with new textures, shapes, and colours by incorporating metals like copper and brass. I hope you enjoy my new work! 

My inspiration comes from many years of living abroad in Dubai, India and Mozambique, and the delightful experiences and sights that I saw overseas. Now that I live in Victoria, British Columbia, the natural beauty of the West Coast provides me with unlimited ideas for my designs.  I make small batch jewelry and many one-of-a-kind pieces.  My distinctive creations are all handmade by me in my home studio.  

I have run several jewelry making workshops for small groups, and my products have been sold in several boutiques.  I frequently sell my work at juried shows and weekend art markets. If you want to find out more about when these are happening, check out the Events tab or please get in touch!
