Description
In this bonus podcast episode, Jess interviews Alexandra, an Advanced Diploma graduate and jeweller who runs her own business called Von W Jewellery. Alexandra specializes in creating fine jewellery pieces using gold and diamonds, employing an experimental technique of melting diamonds into gold. She shares her journey, starting from her early experiences in silversmithing and her advanced studies on the Jewellers Academy Diploma courses, which equipped her with the skills to work with precious materials. Alexandra also talks about her passion for gold and how she alloys her own metals to control the colour and properties of her jewellery. Alexandra is passionate about experimenting with materials and techniques to push the boundaries of traditional jewellery design, ensuring her pieces really resonate with her customers.
