Hello! I'm Lucy. I've been making jewellery since 2016 and have been full-time since 2018. I'm English but moved over to Canada 8 years ago to live with my boyfriend who I met travelling in Europe.

I'm a history graduate so my work is heavily influenced by ancient jewellery, folklore & symbolism.

My brand new website is LIVE! and ready for you to shop the new collection of jewels. Link in bio.

This has all been so much work but I'm really proud of everything I've accomplished!

I've been sharing my process for a few years now in the hope it gives people an insight into how much work goes into even the "simple" pieces.

I'm Lucy, and I'm a metalsmith in Edmonton, Alberta. Grateful for all of the support I've received lately from Canadians across the country ☺️🇨🇦

So these necklaces were born from a need to protect ourselves and one another in these strange times.

I've said this before, but I'm going to keep creating pieces for the kind, loving, empathetic, powerful humans out there, even when it's a struggle. Our art is needed more than ever right now.

My little collection Jewellery As Armor is being released tomorrow night (Monday Feb 10th) at 6pm MT.

It wasn't until I'd finished the third piece of this collection that I realized every one had a shield incorporated into it in some way.

Gemstones with rainbows in will always be top tier and this green kyanite has two of them! (You can just see the second one in the top left of the macro shot). They flash at different angles so it's impossible to capture them both in one photo. Still one of my favourite necklaces from last year!

2024 was the year I became obsessed with freshwater pearls ✨️

These Siren Necklaces started off a whole collections-worth of pieces inspired by ocean folklore.

And there's still one left (on sale!) just waiting for a mermaid to choose it 🧜‍♀️

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much! I'm a recent convert to the pearl gang 😍 now I'm obsessed!

Ivy Fen @ivyfen.bsky.social · Feb 3

Just two pairs of these pearl huggie hoop earrings left looking for their people!

We've had a lot of snow in Alberta so far, and I love how the pearls glow in the winter light ✨️

These tiny but mighty shields are to give you a little added protection from whatever the world is throwing at you right now (I know it's a lot for some of us).

I love how the gold pops against the patina. It gives them such an ancient feel.

Just two of these Rhiannon necklaces are left now! I designed these after spending the whole of October binge-watching AHS Coven and listening to Stevie Nicks non-stop. October has always been my absolute favourite month to create in 🌙

Reticulated sterling silver, moonstone, 24k gold foil

Ivy Fen @ivyfen.bsky.social · Jan 29

Incredible!!!

Ivy Fen @ivyfen.bsky.social · Jan 27

The world feels heavy and bitter and so frustrating right now, but I'm going to keep making pieces that make me and others feel like the empowered, strong, beautiful, empathetic, loving humans that we are. We are the future. The tyrants always fall eventually ❤️

Ivy Fen @ivyfen.bsky.social · Jan 27

I just realized that everything I'm making right now has some kind of shield incorporated into it, and now I'm fully back in the frame of mind that we need to wear our jewelry as armor.

Thank you Ling Ling! So glad it worked well ☺️

I was finally able to buy myself an indoor photography setup so I don't have to go outside in frostbite weather anymore to get good photos. This was my first attempt! This necklace will be available soon, date TBA!
