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 children.

As I began ordering jewellery pieces from overseas 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. In 2024, I knew I needed to learn more advanced skills and so I enrolled in the Certificate II Engineering at Enmore Design College, Sydney. Here I learnt jewellery manufacturing from an array of experts in the jewellery industry. 

Every piece is hand crafted by myself, in my home studio in the Hunter Valley, NSW. Each step of the creative process; from the cutting, shaping, melting, soldering, polishing and packaging is done with meticulous detail and care. I create pieces that are minimal, aesthetic and modern. Creating timeless designs that can be worn and loved day after day.

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