Patsy Croft
ENAMEL JEWELRY DESIGNER AND MAKER
As an enamel jewelry designer and maker, the commitment to exceptional craftsmanship is not just a profession to me but a passion. I transform each piece into a wearable work of art.
An inspiration behind this creativity? The Earth itself. My love for nature is evident in every meticulously crafted jewel, capturing the timeless and awe-inspiring beauty that surrounds us.
The Alchemy of Enamel
Mastering centuries-old techniques to create contemporary heirlooms.
Cloisonné
An ancient technique where fine silver or gold wires are bent to form intricate cells (cloisons). These tiny enclosures are meticulously filled with layers of glass enamel powder and fired multiple times, creating depth and color.
Plique-à-jour
Often described as ‘letting in daylight,’ this exacting technique involves applying enamel into cells with no backing. The result is a breathtakingly delicate, translucent piece that catches and holds light, demanding absolute precision and patience.
Athena Cloisonne Enamels SNAG Best in Show Award
With a body of work inspired by my travels and love of nature, I have earned a national reputation for my jewelry line. My work is timeless and has sold in a number of high-end locations, including Nordstrom in Hawaii, Abaco Gold in Key West, Gold Chest in Grand Caymans, Makers Mark Sydney, Australia and Master’s Touch in Wakawau Hawaii. To include a commission from Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, and Finland and across the US and Canada.
“My ultimate goal is not simply to make jewelry, but to craft small, enduring vessels of beauty that outlast our brief moment in time.”
