Amanda Norman's Gothic Jewellery Box

Last week I interviewed photographer Amanda Norman about her cemetery pictures and Dark Portraits. Aside from that wonderful work Amanda makes hand crafted gothic jewellery for sale. Right now I have that part of the interview for you.

Welcome back, Amanda. Another of the projects you involve yourself in is the creation of jewellery. How did you get into doing that?

Glad to be back!

Creating jewellery is a brand new hobby of mine and it’s something that I’ve always wanted to try and it’s going quite well.

You don’t see much blood vial jewellery for sale over here in the UK and I’ve always wanted a blood vial necklace. They’re a pain in the ass to make, but worth it once finished. I also like Victorian and Gothic styled jewellery, but I’m a long way off designing pieces like that. For the time being, I’m having fun creating pieces that have skulls and spiders and creating charm bracelets that reflect my taste in classic horror, such as the vampire charm bracelet.

Tell us about the planning and design of a jewellery piece.

Up until now, I’ve just gone with the idea in my head, but now I want to merge my photography with the jewellery.

I plan on creating some nice oval photographs in a Gothic frame setting with a glass cover to magnify the image and these can then be used as a pendant. I don’t know how easy this is going to be, but I have the frames and I’m waiting on the glass pieces and glue that is required to create them. Obviously this takes time and money, but the majority of time is spent sourcing materials that are lead and nickel free, as I don’t want any of my customers to suffer from a nasty rash or allergic reaction.

My thanks to Amanda for telling us about her work. If you would like to get in touch with Amanda or buy some of her work she gave me the following sites and contact information.
