Firstly I would like to welcome every back to the New Year and another huge thank you for all your support in 2017. You are all amazing!

We are back in the grooves of things now after a few steady weeks back in the studio. Having a few weeks off over the Christmas break allowed me to take a step back and have a good think about where I want Ryley JC to go in 2018 and beyond.

Lots of things are happening on a personal front early this year which will allow me to focus on my creativity a lot more this year which I am super excited about. I will be venturing out of my usual creativity field and diving into ceramics a bit this year. It is something I have wanted to do for a loooong time and I can't wait to meld my background of jewellery with this new form of media.

One of my goals for Ryley JC this year is to create 30 (!!!) unique and amazing stock pieces using some of the finest coloured gemstones and diamonds. To do this I will need to reduce the studio to limited hours towards the middle of the year in order to get the maximum amount of time on the bench. I already have two pieces near completion and I can't wait to share them with you all when they are finished.

My biggest goal (and the most exciting) is to venture out of my quaint little arcade studio and obtain a brand new state of the art studio with street frontage. I have already been in talks with some amazing suppliers who have some beautiful pieces not previously seen in the region. My aim is to create a luxurious yet comfortable atelier which best represents Ryley Jewellery Creations and my visions for the future. 

I look forward to sharing my journey with you and creating the best jewellery experience for people of this amazing region in 2018 and beyond.
