JACKIE SMALLCOMBE


 

AFTER COMPLETING AN ASSOCIATE DIPLOMA IN JEWELLERY DESIGN THROUGH ENMORE DESIGN CENTRE IN 1996. JACKIE RETURNED TO NEWCASTLE TO CONTINUE MAKING, WHILE LEARNING OTHER PRACTICES ENROLLING IN SHORT COURSES SUCH AS FOUNDRY METAL CASTING, FURNITURE DESIGN AND WELDING.

Jackie's jewellery is of a contemporary style and she likes to focus on creating designs that will age with the wearer without dating. She draws on themes from her coastal surrounds and love of design & architecture.

Jackie loves the personalised & sentimental elements her jewellery brings to her clients. As well as the sense of pride & accomplishment she feels when seeing a piece come to fruition from her initial design sketches, through the various manufacturing process to the end product.

Her main body of work is not outsourced or mass-produced, so even if pieces are a part of a limited edition – no two pieces will be identical.

You can find her & her work at various local markets and through galleries in Newcastle & Canberra.
