What you'll get (delivered to you)

Find everything you need to make unique beaded earrings in this craft box. You are the designer! Make 15 pairs of earrings.

This craft box includes:

Three packets of Czech glass beads
Three packets of earring parts (surgical steel, silver-plated, solid brass) - 5pr each finish
Handouts on the techniques learnt and how to make earrings
Bonus booklet on how beads are made, technique and design tips

Czech pressed glass beads are fine quality pressed glass beads made by an age-old cottage industry. They are made in small quantities using hot glass which is pressed into moulds and come in a myriad of shapes and sizes. Czech beads are the best quality available, and shapes include round, tubes, leaves, flowers, stars and oval shapes.

Why we love Czech glass beads and you will too:

Their diversity: colour, shape and size
Their quality: uniform hole
Their heritage: Czech tradition since the 16th century of bead making
Their design possibilities: they are perfect for both modern designs and recreating a vintage style

We believe in the power of adornment and creativity and have designed a craft box for you to design, make and play using beautiful and original elements sourced ethically and globally.
We inspire your notable style and embrace the maker culture: seeking beauty, slow, ethical and local.

Make it. Wear it. Live it.

Inspiring Jewellery Designer, Educator and Stylist

4.9 (35)

I am a local inner west, Sydney jewellery designer, passionate educator, author, community-spirited and sustainable style advocate and founder of Etelage (est. 2002), a boutique jewellery design studio. Etelage celebrates the maker culture, creativity and the joy and craftsmanship of handmade.

I wander the globe to source the beautiful and the unique. From vintage elements which I find in dusty basements to modern elements made by artisans from time-honoured traditions. I observe that generally as a society we are becoming more mindful about our choices: conscious of choosing products which are made using artisan traditions and not mass produced, and seeking quality over quantity.

Fueled with a passion for women to exude their notable and authentic style, my goal is to create exciting and original creative workshop experiences, encouraging all my students to awaken their creative soul and seek beauty, slow, artisan and local. I love creating a teaching environment where participants can share ideas, be inspired and let their imaginations run wild! With over 19 years teaching experience from TAFE, corporate and community groups, to hens parties and private tuition, I am dedicated to empowering my students to become better designers and better makers, equipping them with skills and confidence to create whatever they dream!

Learn how to string chunky necklaces, knot eclectic beads, link chandelier earrings, use buttons and buckles in jewellery design, and more at our friendly and intimate studio spaces in Rozelle and Summer Hill. Alternatively, we can travel to your venue. (for group bookings only)

I invite you to come and learn some simple jewellery making techniques with a local jeweller, which will impress you as well as your friends.

Etelage jewellery workshops are perfect for individuals, corporate bookings or a group of friends.

Let's make and play together and unlock your inner creative!
