Leading glass artist Marie Simberg-Höglund presents a stunning range of exclusively designed and handmade fused art glass jewellery.
Marie’s work moves smoothly between contrasts. Her artistic expression is colourful and timeless and created with joy. She works with vivid colours, pure forms and classical lines in a confident, loose style.
Each piece of the Glass Jewellery has been individually made by hand with slight variations in size, shape, colours and texture due to the organic nature of glass.

Collean Hoad
Colleen Hoad has recently graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts (Honours). She is continuing to practice and exhibit her work locally in Newcastle. Her jewellery design, in particular, has become a prominent focus.
"Each button jewel creation is made by hand. All are individual one off pieces. All made with buttons and beads, new and old, bought and found. Incorporated with these are a mix match of trinkets; chains, charms, and miscellaneous jewellery pieces. I use coated wire to band them all together into a visually intriguing, individual jewellery design. Using my pliers and scissors I bend, twist, thread and contort my materials into what you can see as the finished product. Enjoy these pieces, have fun with their colour and sense of play. A new life has been given to these little pieces of old or discarded objects."
