About Me

Hello......my name is Annelies and I am the one woman show behind Me Jewellies (except for my Mammy’s crocheted twine bags 😍) I got into jewellery making after a looooooooot of soul searching. I signed up for a part time Jewellery making course in The School of Jewellery Ireland in Dec 2018. As soon as I sat at the bench I was instantly hooked, it was love at first saw 🪚 After my first class I went home with a chunky hammered ring, which I still wear everyday. I was so proud that I created something so fabulous and wearable. I got such a kick out of it and I knew this was the beginning of something beautiful. I completed 2 terms before investing in my own tools and practicing non stop at home. My friends and family trusted me in making gifts for them, their friends and family which really gave me the confidence to grow and hone my skills. 

January 2020 I was lucky enough to head over to London Jewellery School and complete a stone setting course which has brought so much colour to Me Jewellies. 
Me Jewellies has been my saviour during the Pandemic and I’m so grateful I have this as my outlet. I am Irish and I made the big move to Glasgow on NYE (Hagmanay) 2020, I brought all my tools over, I set up this website and started getting into the markets around Glasgow(I bring my little fur dude Pablo to the outdoor markets) An AMAZING opportunity to intern in the Creative Haven that is Vanilla Ink arose in the Summer 2021, I was lucky to be chosen and spent a wonderful 2weeks there…And even luckier to be asked to be 1 of their Jewellers in Residence for 2022. 
I got upskilled and began tutoring during my residency. Another amazing opportunity that came knocking was to be a contributor on a BBC1 show called Make it At Market. Make it At Market follows 30 crafts people turning their hobby into a business. This was incredible exposure for my business and I am now fully self employed. I sell my pieces on the website, I attend craft markets, I stock in 2 shops, I’m a tutor in Vanilla Ink and on a BBC1 show…HOW CRAZY IS THAT!!!!! The journey is still in the early years but what an adventure it’s been so far. 

Thank you so so so much for supporting Me Jewellies. I’m so excited to continue this epic journey.
