Welcome to WatsonWells Jewelry, my collection of unique and soulful adornments which I have created. Throughout my entire life I’ve found that I always needed to be doing something with my fingers — I’ve been knitting, crocheting, painting, crafting, you name it….until I came upon my true passion, jewelry. What began as a cherished pastime has evolved into a collection that encapsulates not only personal design, but also the profound therapy of the artistic process.
For years, I’ve been curating beautiful jewelry that reflects the marriage of Sterling Silver and harmonious gemstones — with many unique adornments. But this journey is not just about jewelry; it is a reflection of a life well-lived, a journey that has seen me travel the globe, where I gathered gemstones, charms, indigenous silver, and antique items. I have shopped in Peru, London’s Portobello Road, Paris flea markets, Hong Kong’s Jade Market, street fairs of Bali and Mexico, antique shops and estate sales here in the US.
Besides being a jewelry maker, I consider myself an assemblage artist. Not merely a craft; my artistry offers me solace and serenity through life’s twists and turns. This creative haven has been my lifeline, especially during challenging times. The act of working with gems and materials gathered from all corners of the world has served as a source of meditation, bringing me comfort and clarity.
Every item in my jewelry collection is a showpiece offering my perspective. My travel “souvenirs” come from my own feelings of wanderlust and wonder. The imperfections woven into my work are intentional. They speak of resilience, while embracing flaws and finding beauty in hand crafted authenticity.
I wake every morning with gratitude and find beauty in every day. The imperfections in the jewelry mirror my journey — a journey marked by strength, grace, the challenges of MS and the courage to find beauty in every phase of life.
Each piece of WatsonWells Jewelry contains my heart and soul; these are not mere adornments, they’re fragments of my life woven together for you to discover. Explore my collection and find something that touches your heart, waiting to become a part of your life. Explore the collection to find yourself.
