Her work reads like a Parisian fairy tale…Turquoise, opal, jade, coral, ivory – every vitrine has its color, its theme. Her creations are like stories to be read. There is the imaginary of a terrifying bestiary worthy of Jérome Bosch paintings, from which she diverts the diabolical for the beauty of their forms: snakes, bats, wasps, frogs or monkeys adorned with diamonds are on familiar terms with gargantuesque stones, cut to amaze, so much so that the volumes express themselves largely on one’s hand. Each piece of jewelry is unique and one of a kind.

I’ve been designing and making jewelry since I was a kid. About a year and a half ago I decided to really give it a go and find out whether this was something I could turn into a business. When you live, breathe and sleep jewelry it just seems to be the most natural thing in the world that you should make a living from it.

Since then, I’ve had the odd bit of industry recognition, and have worked on fashion shows and shoots, getting my designs out there into the fashion world and working on slowly but surely raising the profile from a nobody to a “soon to be somebody”.

Runner-up Accessories Brand of the Year (beating Dolce & Gabbana) just months after I had made this decision did a lot for my confidence and my belief that I really can do it. Being approached by other designers whom I admire about working together, and getting lots of positive feedback about my work from various people has been great.

I think, with my most recent collection, Third Time’s The Charm, that I’ve got something. Eco-chic pieces that are striking to look at, easy to wear, and completely different to anything that’s ever been done before.

People love them – both men, and women. Men who don’t normally care about jewelry find these pieces ‘mesmerising’ (yes, direct quote!) and everyone tells me they would love to wear it. Now I need to find stockists, to put the collection on shelves, and buyers, to purchase it!

To really get it out there, I need PR help. I need business help. I need lots of marketing assistance and an investor who sees the vision, who ‘gets’ the collection and can see all the possibilities – options that maybe I haven’t even thought of yet…

I saw (well actually I heard – I don’t watch much tv as I’m usually at my workbench or desk – but the other people in my house were watching it) a show on tv the other day about a successful businessman who travels around, gets to know people and after a week he decides exactly how much money he’s going to give them to help them out with their business. That’s what I want.

Someone who can see what is needed in capital investment and who goes right ahead and invests in growing my business. Anyone who spends any time with me can see that I’m completely dedicated to Joolz. I spend almost every waking minute on it. I’m like a woman possessed.

How do I find an investor? This is my next challenge. And I will find one!

Flowers are obviously nothing new in jewelry – but British designer Zoe Newsome ’s flowers are elegant yet arts-and-crafty.

For her current collection, Newsome says she “[draws] flowers with wire into beautiful wearable sculptures,” and intends a tension between traditional floral symbolism and the color black.

Her necklaces and brooches, made of copper, silver, gold, and sometimes cotton and twigs, are delicate, textured, and would look equally great around your neck or displayed on your wall.
