About me
My name is Amanda, and I am the designer/maker at Enid and Me Jewellery.
I live in South-East London with my husband and our fur babies – Sid and Lola; who you might see popping up on my Instagram account from time to time.
I take inspiration from the materials I use, along with design references from fashion and vintage imagery. I love looking at traditional tattoos, vintage iconography and rock ’n’ roll imagery to create unique pieces.
I originally trained as a footwear and accessories designer and have worked in the fashion industry for over 25 years, making handmade shoes and teaching at London’s prestigious Cordwainers College, before moving onto head office roles concentrating on the technical side of things. I clearly have a thing for attention to detail…
My brand name is in homage of my grandmother.
Some of my earliest memories of jewellery are of her jewellery... whether sitting with her as a little girl, looking at her rings or the connecting beads, she let me play with, I felt if a fitting tribute to her to name my brand after her.
My Jewellery journey started with me remaking her wedding band – or at least what I remember her wedding band looking like. I still wear it every day.
I have always loved and worn jewellery so the transition into making it was an easy one.
In 2015, I enrolled on a four-day intensive jewellery making course where I learnt the basics before hurrying home to make my version of Enid’s ring and practice the new skills I had acquired. Another of my first pieces was my husband’s wedding band, which he is still wearing too I might add.
I have attended a few other day courses but other than that I am self-taught hence my holistic approach. I think it is important to keep learning new things, as it helps us grow and I’ve definitely made some amazing friends along the way.
While I mainly sell on line, I do occasionally attend craft/makers fairs, so keep any eye on my Instagram account for further details #enid.jewellerylondon
