I will continue to create new designs in between diaper changes and as always, I welcome your custom orders. I am so grateful to you all for your continued support of my business, and as a token of appreciation I will be offering 15% off all jewelry this one night only.

My best,
Amy.

I am excited to share this news with you!  I thought it would also be helpful to keep you in the loop – especially for those who have custom inquiries…

Next week my husband and I are due to have our first little one and this means I will be taking a couple months off from jewelry making.  However, I am always available via email to answer your questions and supply quotes so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.  We can start the ball rolling on your custom projects through email, then with the details sorted I can hit the ground running once I’m back in action!

Don’t forget you can always purchase my jewelry directly from my
Online Store and these great galleries that are well stocked with my jewelry:

Venue in Ballard, WA

Artisans on Taylor in Port Townsend, WA

Gallery De Novo in Dunedin, NZ

Leeda in Alexandra, NZ

Stay tuned for updates and baby pics :D

You are invited to a

Handcrafted Jewelry Show

Featuring new jewelry from Linnie Kendrick,
Yuko Tanaka & Amy Bixby 

Thursday December 15th, from 5 – 9pm at Venue

 

This year I am joined by two jewelry artists new to Venue; Linnie Kendrick and Yuko Tanaka.

I think you will really appreciate the addition of their unique and well-crafted work to the show this year.

Linnie’s jewelry consists of detailed enamel work, sparkling swingset earrings and delicate wire leaf shapes in silver and bronze.

Yuko takes vintage kimono fabric and creates clean contemporary designs to form both pendants and playful double-sided earrings.

My latest pieces feature granulated gold, oxidized silver and wintery gemstones. Also new, is my line of contemporary cufflinks in Sterling silver.

This is a great opportunity to find something unique for your loved ones these holidays (not to mention yourself!) and support local artists in doing so.

Please join us for a glass of wine, a few nibbles and the release of our brand new collections.
We would love to see you there…
~ Amy.

For those of you lucky enough to be in New Zealand right now
Gallery De Novo in Dunedin has a rotating exhibition during the cup games which is well worth checking out in between games.   For this exhibition I wanted to create pieces that represented our national team but also offered something different to the more traditional New Zealand themed jewellery.   Using unique stones like Dendrite Opal & Dendritic Quartz paired with contrasting oxidized & brite silver I created a special collection that is as bold & strong as our mighty All Blacks!  Well, maybe not quite as bold & strong as them, but as far as jewellery goes these pieces have a definite power to them.  Take a look at the photos below and if you are in Dunedin do stop by Gallery De Novo for a look-see.
