Anne-Marie Cole, artisan jewellery maker.
"I started my jewellery hobby when my son had leukaemia to raise money for the local charity.
Educated in Bolton and self-taught in jewellery making, I started with wire work and moved into fine silver. I'm inspired by art, Mother Nature's beauty and magic, and healing crystals. I see the potential to combine therapy and beauty. I see a raw power...an untold story ready to be realised...to be worn as jewellery.
I walk in the woods and moors surrounding my studio or near the ocean I visit with my dogs. I see the beauty in trees, birds, stones and shells and I tell their story through jewellery.
My jewellery is for unique people who are kind and bold...who love statement pieces for handing down to the next generation.
My style is not mainstream, each piece is hand carved and created by me, taking weeks to create for someone who can connect to it.
I use genuine ethically sourced silver, copper, diachroic glass, gemstones and unique crystals.
"The ultimate source of existence...nature is the mother of us all. I feel deeply connected to nature and find myself outdoors as often as I can be. I know I start and end in nature."
"The Green Man symbolises the life cycle, death and re-birth...Godhood within the male in relationship with the Goddess life force, the female divinity. The pagan symbol heralding spring and renewal of vegetation."
"I regularly visit the shorline - the place where the land meets the mystery of the sea...the wide blue water that's home to foreign creatures and endlessly moving forces."
"Our relatives, the animals, inspire me with the wild nature, their spontaneity, and their beautiful textures and colours, I often reflect wild animals in my jewellery - capturing their character to remind me of my own wild side."
"Creativity is nothing new; humans have expressed their ideas, hopes and urges in the form of archetypal patterns, textures, lines, curves and shapes. I love the ancient symbols that perfectly represent natural forces"
"I remember being told about the power of crystals...how they choose their host and bring the vibrations of healing to those who need it. Crystals and stones are our most ancient ancestors."
Can you tell me what you'd treasure in a piece of jewellery?
I can take your ideas and create the perfect piece for you.
