Welcome to my site! I'm Stephie Hall and the art and jewellery on this site is my work. I believe that being an artist in any form is more a journey than an occupation, whether that art be writing, jewellery, painting, cooking of any of the million other art forms. Creativity is a way of life that brings joy to my existance and I feel priviledged to be able to live this way and share it with you.

I've been making jewellery for fifteen years, starting originally with semi-precious gemstones and plated metal but enticed by the richer colours available using manufactured crystal & glass (which are also ethically sound and free from conflict, unlike many gemstones).

I made my first piece of real jewellery when I was 17. I so wish someone had introduced me earlier! The short bout of metal work we did in school would have been so much more interesting if it had been jewellery focused and 3 years of secondary school art classes would have been far less excruciating if someone had explained you don’t need to be able to draw to be an artist.

I mainly work in Sterling silver and Swarovski crystal. I absolutely adore Swarovski - there is no better crystal product to work with and their huge range can satisfy even my obsession with colours. Occasionally I also produce pieces in gold filled or 9 carat solid gold because I love the warmer colour of yellow gold.

Many thanks for visiting my site and I do hope you enjoy your stay. :o)
