Hi, I'm Zoe
Established in 2013, my business has now evolved to include a range of beautiful, handcrafted pieces of jewellery as well as friendly and informal jewellery making classes.
My first introduction to working with metal was during my 3D design degree course. During the 3 year course I specialised in metal work gaining a basic understanding of how to form metal. My own making was put on hold as I trained to become a qualified Art and Design teacher in secondary and further education. In 2015 I decided it was time to dust off my tools and began teaching myself further jewellery making skills. The rest is history!
Growth and change
In 2016 I decided to leave mainstream education to pursue my business further and in 2017 I found my business home in Croft Myl, Halifax where I set up my studio and workshop space.
This little place has evolved over the years and as well as providing me with a cosy, inspiring place to work, I have welcomed hundreds of people through the doors to attend my jewellery making classes and discuss commissions.
Inspired by you
My work is inspired by you and your stories. I love to create pieces which will help you to commemorate the special moments in your life.
My main collections provide an accessible range of jewellery which is designed to be worn daily and I also love working to commission, collaborating with you directly to create truly special pieces including engagement and wedding rings.
In addition to bespoke pieces I also work regularly on remodels of sentimental jewellery, transforming old, unworn pieces into something new - heirlooms of the future. This is where I really thrive and I love sourcing stones, designing new pieces and working with you to create something you really love.
Lucy
In 2019 Lucy came to work with me as my business grew. Initially she was involved in helping me with admin behind the scenes however as Lucy learnt the skills to make sterling silver jewellery over the last couple of years she has progressed to teaching some of our jewellery making classes. You will see on each class listing who the tutor is for that particular class. Lucy is an integral part of the studio at Zoe Sembi Jewellery and this has allowed us to offer more variety and frequency of classes.
