Hi Pals,
These rings made a reappearance after a little hiatus at a market I did the other week, so I thought I'd do the same and introduce myself (and Arlo) to new followers and re introduce myself to those of you who have been around for a while.
For those of you that don't know I'm Hayley the face behind Irving jewellery and this is my little buddy Arlo. I graduated from Jewellery and metal design at DJCAD in 2020 (shout out to my other covid graduates who never got a degree show) and this little biz has been going since around 2019. Everything is made by me in my little mint green garden studio shed. I work predominately with jesmonite, resin and found objects/gemstones that where headed for landfill. Though I am trained to work with metal I love all things colour so I love to create big bold colourful jewellery. Think Pat butcher but make it fashion π
These little rings hold a special place in my heart and are probably where I got the confidence to believe that my work was good enough for people to want to wear. They where originally for my degree show work and i never planned on selling them because they are incredibly personal to me, however they received so much love I decided to share them with you all. The originals may not have seen the light of day for about 2 years but I know they are there and I get them out every so often to get me inspired when ive hit a wall.
With all that being said I would like to say a massive thank you to anyone that has ever supported this little biz and those who have been around since day one. I really do appreciate it and its your support that keeps me going when I feel like I want to but this on the back burner.
For anyone that wants to come say Hi you can find me at .yard.market on Saturday the 14th in Dundee for my last market of the year. If you cant make it fear not all stock I have left over I will put on a ready to ship section of my website and can post it in time for Xmas.
Last but not least my DMS and Email is always open if you want a commission or would just like to say Hi just send me a message.
Much love,
Hayley and Arlo β₯
