Jeweller Of The Month

April - Nancy Pickard

Nancy Pickard was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1963 and spent her early years in the Channel Islands. Studying at the Central School of Art, London and University of Wales Institute, Cardiff she then moved to West Cornwall in 2002. Nancy made her home in a 200-year-old converted Wesleyan Chapel and is now based in Devon.

Nancy considers herself an all-round artist- painter, artist, jewellery maker, sculptor, ceramicist and is constantly reinventing herself. Her sculptural jewellery is made by enamelling onto hand cut pieces of silver. Each piece is individual and she never makes two pieces the same.
