Our Story

Hi Folks.

I originally started Folk and Freya in 2022 from a desire of wanting to create a fulfilling business for myself in which I could have more time and flexibility to spend at home with my three children.

As I began ordering jewellery pieces from suppliers, I quickly realised the product didn’t always match the picture or description and I found myself quite disheartened by the quality, or lack there of. Not only had shipping taken over a month or two, but I had waisted good money on poor quality.

In 2023 I shifted my focus. It was from here that I decided to embark on a new journey in life and I began to teach myself the art of silversmithing. I began to acquire silversmithing equipment & tools, quality jewellery supplies and semi-precious gemstones. I grew up having a keen interest in creating jewellery and have always loved the process of making something beautiful and functional from minimal origins. I believe there is always something new to learn and the art of silversmithing will be forever evolving as I learn new concepts and skills. Each step of the creative process; from the cutting, shaping, melting, soldering, polishing and packaging is done with meticulous detail and care.

Every handmade piece is created by myself, in my home studio in the Hunter Valley, NSW Australia. I create pieces that are functional, unique and elegant. Creating treasures that can be worn and loved day after day, and this also includes our range of Accessories.

As a small business, please know that your purchase is so appreciated. And my hope is that you will love your treasured pieces as much as I have loved creating them!
