Last night while googling “handmade jewellery” in Ireland I came across this truly talented artist based in Cork, Ireland. Her name is Alicia Mannix and she is a metal artist, but in her 10 year career has worked with a variety of materials such as silver, glass, copper, wood and steel.

Her newest silver collection is what caught my eye. Named “Botanicals”, it captures the similarities between natures ephimerial beauty and the human form.

She is registered with the Crafts Council of Ireland, but from what I can tell does not have an online shop.  Her prices range from €26 – €250 and she can be contacted through email: info@alicia.ie or through her beautiful website: www.alicia.ie

She also teaches classes at The PMC Studio in England.

Artist statement
I want my jewellery to be treasured as a handmade item, knowing that each piece has been created uniquely with a lot of care and attention. I want the person the piece adorns to feel the positive energy that has been put into its creation.

Me: loving it! Check her out.
