ABOUT

A lovely friendly store tucked at the top of Cowley Road selling a fantastic array of jewellery making supplies. Amy also holds regular workshops from silver smithing to beaded jewellery for beginners as well as skilled jewellers. It’s perfect for Hen parties! There are also some lovely handmade pieces on sale too and there is a bespoke service available for wedding jewellery and personalisation.

Amy has been one of our longest standing Indie Oxford members, and we’re so proud to have her in our network. She is a brilliant and knowledgeable teacher, and her online tutorials during the pandemic have been a huge hit with her community. Her enthusiasm, positivity and hard work have helped her grow a flourishing business, and we love working with her.
