ABOUT ME

I am Pascale, jewellery designer and maker based in the beautiful Stroud valleys. I create striking, soulful jewellery inspired by the mystical world and magic of nature. Since childhood I have been drawn to unusual and shiny objects from ancient history and distant cultures, captivated by their meanings and the connection to it’s owner. My pieces aim to encapsulate the movement, rhythm and flow of life and this strange existence. 

My jewellery making journey began at A Level where I fell in love with the processes and endless possibilities of this exciting art form. Following college I went on to study Arts and Events Management and work in the community arts and festival scene. 

THE POWER OF CRAFT

It wasn't until after traveling in my mid 20s that I returned to jewellery making after falling ill with an autoimmune disease. Making jewellery became a therapeutic practise, working with my hands to craft small treasures was a truly satisfying process and became an important part of my healing. I experienced a strong connection between creating with my hands and calming my mind.

One of the oldest geometric symbols in the world - the Spiral - often influences the organic patterns that I use throughout my designs - I am fascinated by it’s depiction in different cultures throughout history, interpreted as a symbol of transformation and rebirth.

WIRE AND BEYOND

Having a bit of an obsession with making earrings, I developed a range of designs using wire work techniques and vintage beads found in my mother’s old jewellery hoard. The name Cheeky Danglers caught on and my first collection was born - creating the spiral earrings that I am well known for. With help from The Prince’s Trust and my mentor, over time I built the confidence and knowledge that I needed to launch my business. I now have a number of collections focusing on wire work techniques and more recently metal work. 

I began teaching wire work jewellery workshops in 2019 at the teaching space in Victoria Works Studios and have enjoyed this new challenge guiding others with their own creative practise and spreading the power of craft!

Each piece is created by hand in my workshop with a whole lot of love and care. I source sustainable materials where possible and am continuing to work on making every piece and its packaging as eco-friendly as possible.
