About
Grace + Jodie is a creative studio with a focus on handcrafted jewelry and accessories. Founded in 2013, my design approach is characterized by a multi-disciplinary ethos, embracing creative ideas, experimentation, and collaborations. This philosophy guides my work, ensuring the creation of a curated collection of beautiful and functional wearable pieces.
I have a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and the handmade process. Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand and independently produced, ensuring that every creation is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece tailored specifically for you."
The Grace + Jodie collection is designed and intimately handcrafted in my studio in Singapore.

I draw inspiration from art, architecture and crafts. Whilst I've taken many classes and workshops, I consider myself to be self taught and always learning. I've always have a passion for designing at a very young age. I recall spending hours handcrafting, sewing, painting for my family, friends and myself.
I believe that the uniqueness and authenticity of my designs could only be conveyed by making each piece by hand. Each design within every collection is completely handcrafted in my home studio.
Often times, designs start out as an idea in my head and a quick sketch in my notebook. Most times it is the stone or material I am working with that speaks to me.
This work is my utmost joy and knowing it can make others happy too compounds that joy tenfold. It is an honor to be part of your story.

Some of my creation is a random uncontrolled shape, other times in a more controlled manner and then combining all elements with jewellery pieces and precious metal. I revel in a lack of control, allowing chaos to take over and the nature of the precious materials to dictate the final outcome of the new pieces.
My collection is constantly developing and through different creative processes new pieces emerge all the time, ensuring that no two are identical.
Creating Our Bead Crochet Collection
Bead crochet is an ancient technique that has been reimagined to create a modern and contemporary jewelry pieces. This process requires precision and patience, resulting in jewelry that is not only beautiful but also durable and long-lasting.
My designs are inspired by contemporary fashion trends, art and nature. I experiment with asymmetrical shapes, geometric patterns and abstract forms to create modern silhouettes that are both elegant and bold.
By combining intricate beadwork with innovative designs, I specialize in crafting unique accessories that blend tradition with modernity. My designs are characterised by their attention to detail, use of vibrant colors and using high quality components to ensure durability and ease of wear.
Craftsmanship
Each piece of jewelry is meticulously handcrafted using only high-quality Japanese Miyuki Rocaille beads or Toho beads and high quality yarns. I carefully select beads in various sizes and colors to achieve the desired aesthetic.
Conclusion
In a world where mass-produced accessories dominate the market, my focus is creating handcrafted jewelry that stands out for its artistry and individuality. Through the fusion of traditional bead crochet techniques with contemporary design concepts, I strive to offer jewelry that is not just a fashion statement but also a wearable piece of art.
