What I Make
Rings
Most of my rings are one of a kind. Some can be duplicated, but because each ring is made individually, there are always variations.
Necklaces
The necklaces vary widely. I hand knot beads, make one-of-a-kind, handmade, wearable art pendants from drawings.
Earrings
Often I partner with nature and make molds of what I find on my walks or in the garden to make unique earrings.
Bangles/Bracelets/Cuffs
There is a three strand ruby bracelet, Celtic symbols, a wave themed Sterling Silver cuff, and lots of bangles as well.
I'm Donelle
My name is Donelle Clarke and I work out of my home studio in East Vancouver, BC, Canada. Using both traditional & metal clay techniques, I make handmade jewelry that is ethically sourced, unique, and made with love. My designs reflect a love of nature and traveling. My goal is to create one-of-a-kind wearable art jewelry for you.
An interesting side note is that my grandma's family comes from the silver mines in Spain. Who would imagine that I would be working with silver?!

My Charity, because Everyone needs a chance!
To give back to our community, I paired with the Charity Aunt Leah's.org. to give 5% of all proceeds sold. Aunt Leah's Charity is based out of New Westminster, BC, Canada. It helps foster care children have hope after foster care ends, keeps them from becoming homeless, and helps mothers in need along their journey to self-sufficiency by providing supported housing, job training, and coaching on essential life skills.

I donate 5% of my earnings to them. My hope is that if you are looking for a local charity, you will consider Aunt Leah's.

What I do
Handmade Jewelry, Made With Love
My jewelry is made in my home studio in East Vancouver, BC, Canada. All of the materials I use are ethically sourced. And, there is no lead or nickel in any of my products.
Because each piece of jewelry is handmade, no two pieces are ever alike, though some may be similar. Jewelry begins with the idea that gets drawn. If I can draw it, then I move on to making it. So when you buy jewelry from me, you are buying years of learning, experimenting, joys, and tears. Your particular piece of jewelry didn’t just happen. No robots here!
I also work with people looking for custom-made jewelry to partner together to come up with the perfect design.
Top 3 Benefits of buying Handmade Jewelry
- Designed and made by an artisan, not a robot. You are getting something personal and meaningful because I have an intimate relationship with each piece of jewelry I make. This cannot be infused from a machine. This, in turn, makes my jewelry very transparent.
- Environmentally Friendly. As an artisan, I use methods to make my jewelry with the least harmful effects on the environment possible. I am dedicated to sustainability and ethically sourced materials.
- One-of-a-Kind Jewelry. Lastly, each handmade piece of jewelry requires a significant time investment. First, there is the thought, then the drawing. After that comes choosing the right materials to make the vision come alive. And then, there is the making of the piece. Afterward, finishing includes sanding, polishing, and sometimes patina. My goal is to offer you value for the time it takes to make one-of-a-kind jewelry. You will always stand out with your special piece(s) of jewelry, enhancing your confidence in whatever you’re doing.
