I started making jewellery in the run-up to my wedding in 2007 when I taught myself how to make my own tiara and necklaces for my bridesmaids. Bead work wasn\u2019t challenging enough and I wanted to learn how to work with precious metals. After a weekend course in silver-smithing I enrolled in the City & Guilds Course in \u201c3D Studies (Jewellery)\u201d at the local college in Cardiff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My inspiration comes from all sorts of sources, sometimes just playing around with different types of beads, doodling in my sketch book and also from our gorgeous cat Bobby. I like animals and decided to specialise in animal-themed jewellery.<\/p>\n

I love learning new techniques and experimenting with different materials such as Swarovski Elements, semi-precious stones, copper sheet, silver sterling, wire, polymer clay and PMC (precious metal clay).<\/p>\n

I mainly create necklaces with semi-precious beads and beaded rings with Swarovski Elements. Sometimes I use wire to wrap around pendants and I create pendants with polymer clay.<\/p>\n

As silver sterling is expensive I have decided to create jewellery not only with silver sterling findings but also offer jewellery with silver and gold plated components.<\/p>\n

Helenka White Design also accepts commissions to create custom pieces and offers jewellery parties in the Cardiff area.<\/p>\n
