ATTENTION USA CUSTOMERS: Due to changes to the safety product certification and new tariffs to the USA, I currently have sales to the USA on hold, whilst I look into the admin and red tape of complying.

ATTENTION EU CUSTOMERS: Due to the new EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) rules, I am currently unable to ship to any EU country, which also includes Northern Ireland.

About Bowerbird Jewellery

Bowerbird Jewellery

Quirky mixed media jewellery and accessories as unique as you are!

G'Day! I'm Amanda and I create quirky beaded and mixed media jewellery from my (always slightly messy!) home studio in Cornwall.

I started making jewellery at the tender age of 4 - it was a strung wooden bead necklace on string - but at least it's a start! When I was a teenager, my Mum gave me a loom beading kit and a book on beaded friendship bracelets. My first necklace was a daisy chain choker, which I still have in my jewellery collection! I've made mostly beaded jewellery as a hobby since then and when we moved over to the UK from Australia I decided I wanted to pursue a jewellery career and study jewellery design.

When we moved down to Cornwall a few years ago, I decided to take the plunge and officially start my own jewellery business and named it after an Australasian bird called the Bower bird which, like the UK's Magpie collects shiny objects! Pretty apt for an Aussie jewellery designer I thought!

I am mostly self-taught but have studied a City & Guild's courses at Truro College where I received a Distinction, amongst other workshops and courses.

I create jewellery from whatever I have in my crafty stash and like to try many different types of art and crafts which sometimes crosses into my jewellery making too! The weather, the seasons, seashore, recycling found objects picked up from the beach, history, castles and ancient monuments, William Morris designs - in fact anything can be found in my jewellery range!

My favourite material to work with currently is, well,material as in fabric! Statement fabric and plywood pieces, fabric button jewellery and home decor abound in my current collections!

Reviewed by Gill

I absolutely love these earrings and have worn them nearly every day. They are light and pretty. I chose the hoop closure which feels more secure than a hook. The delivery was prompt. I would definitely buy more from this maker.

Returns Policy

You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.

Please note: Unless faulty, the following types of items are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements; personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken.

Please Note: Folksy are collecting VAT/sales tax for customers on their behalf. Orders from outside the UK - Please be aware that anyone purchasing from outside the UK may be charged customs duties as their items enter their own country. These duties are set by the government of each country and are outside our control.

I post all all orders within the UK using UK Tracked 48 postage at a flat rate. Other postage upgrades are available, at reasonable additional cost.

I am happy to gift wrap and post an order to the recipient if required at no extra cost, so please enter details in the Notes to Seller when ordering!

Returns and Exchanges: Please bear in mind if your item contains vintage components that there may be a little wear and tear on these pieces because of the nature of the item's age. I try and use the best quality materials in my work, but if you are unhappy with it for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible or within 14 days of receiving the item. Once you've heard back from me and you would still like to return it, please return the item undamaged in its original packaging if possible (buyer pays return postage costs).

Once I've received the item, I'll arrange for a refund of the purchase price, exchange the item for one of the same value, or if alteration is required, I can alter the item to suit (although additional charges will apply if this takes longer than fifteen minutes or requires additional materials).

Additional Policies and FAQ's: All of my work is made with love, care and attention to detail and perfection. I try to make my jewellery as strong as possible to live up to daily wear and tear. If you treat them with respect they should last years! Handle it carefully, avoid tugging it sharply and in the case of beaded or mixed media rings as a precaution don't have them submerged in water constantly. Be kind when opening/closing clasps, store them flat and out of direct sunlight if possible, also avoid contact with perfumes and other cosmetics (they may damage the surface of some beads). And remember that most of my beaded work is made with small glass beads, so if they're dropped on a hard surface they may not survive intact - although they are quite tough little things!

With regards to earrings, due to hygiene regulations, I can only accept returns if they are faulty or damaged and unworn.
