About FacetNation.
FacetNation is a small business, formed in 2009, by jewellery designer & maker Amy Lee Hubbard.
Amy studied art & photography at A level, and then went on to train in metalwork & jewellery at the Surrey Institute of Art & Design Farnham. She graduated in 2007 with a BA Hons in Three Dimensional Design, Metalwork & Jewellery. Amy also likes to attend regular classes as a student to continue her professional development, and gained an A grade in Gemmology with the Gemmological Association of Great Britain in June 2011.
Amy did a short work experience placement with Amy Anderson of Comfort Station London whilst at university, then went on to manage a concession for Fossil UK before being appointed Head of Workshop for Westwood Rocks Ltd.
Currently Amy is employed by S.E.Riordan Jewellers in Fleet Hampshire, also teaches a popular silver jewellery making course at The West End Centre in Aldershot, Hampshire, and occasionally for Guildford Adult Learning Centre, and is a committee member of the Harvey Gallery in Guildford - all alongside designing & making jewellery for FacetNation.
All designs are unique creations, made completely by hand from start to finish by Amy at her home workshop in Surrey. Commissions are welcome, and ready - made items are available to buy direct from the online shop, or from various craft events & galleries across the UK.

Collections.
'High Tea'

Etched into each piece of silver is the ornate pattern from a paper doily. The nature of acid etching can produce a wide variation of results, and I have mixed delicate & precise etches with deep eroded etches to give the effect of something which looks both modern & antique. Oxidisation adds the dark contrast between the etched pattern & highly polished silver.
I combined the silver elements with large baroque freshwater pearls, in classic white. Pearls are timeless & feminine, and add elegance to the pieces.
The High Tea collection comprises of earrings, pendants, necklaces & rings, and soon to be added are bracelets. More images are in the Gallery.
'Amulet'.

'Amulet' is a series of pieces I keep coming back to & keep exploring, as an extension of a project I set myself whilst on my degree course.
The Amulet collection evolved from 'holding jewellery' - a research project which looked at finding different ways of capturing objects in something wearable. I chose to capture gemstones, especially rough samples, as gemmology is a passion of mine.
The rough & sometimes cut stones I use are held within silver domes using resin & claws. I like to use resin to allow light to pass through to the stones, and for its wet, water like quality.
The collection is a series of pendants & rings. More images are in the Gallery.
