classes: Silversmithing • Jewellery Making

Women-owned

My jewellery journey began in 2017 when, fed up with buying pieces that tarnished or broke after just a few wears, I decided to learn more about how jewellery is made, hoping to create my own pieces one day.

A beginner's course in silversmithing and soldering got me hooked right away (so much so, that I asked my friend's sister, who was a jewellery student at the time, if we could make some jewellery together! - I am thankful for her time to this day). In 2018, I moved to Barcelona and decided to join a local jewellery studio. Every Monday evening, I explored different techniques, building my skills bit by bit. It was here that I discovered my favourite technique: wax carving—a wonderfully peaceful and rewarding craft.

Having spent years in the events industry, the pandemic's arrival in 2020 gave me an unexpected chance to turn my hobby into something more. I launched Juno Jewellery, focusing on bespoke pieces that I mainly created through wax carving. Working from my tiny home studio with just a handful of tools taught me something important: you don't need a fancy setup to create beautiful wax-carved jewellery—just a table, a chair, and a few basic tools.

After the pandemic, I went back to managing events full-time but kept Juno Jewellery going for commission pieces. While organising away days and seasonal parties for corporate clients, I noticed something: we were all a bit tired of the usual team-building activities. Pottery classes, cooking workshops, candle-making and escape rooms—we'd all done them countless times. That's when it hit me: jewellery making could offer something fresh and different. It's a chance for teams to get creative, focus on the details, boost their confidence and make something truly personal they can wear or gift. Plus, there's nothing quite like the feeling of pride when you finish making your very own piece of jewellery!
