about bolder

bolder came to be when I seriously stopped and asked myself what I would do to make money if I could do what would make me happiest; which I acknowledge with great privilege. I am completely self taught using the wax method, and do not consider myself a silversmith or traditional jeweller, but rather a jewelry designer and ‘maker’ (as the wonderful maker, Tim, puts it). I’ve always adored jewelry and working with my hands in creative ways, but my first experience making jewelry from scratch and beginning to learn what it’s all about was in a workshop by Tim in Emerald Beach, NSW – Australia.

The name bolder is inspired by the ‘boulder’ opal, which is my favourite gemstone. I enjoy that it has a double meaning maybe not to everyone who comes across the name, but to myself.
