Where Art Meets Adornment
Get to know JamieLeigh
Owner and Creator of Three Bees Jewellery
“Call me crazy, but as soon as I held a torch in my hands, that was IT! Over time I’ve become a silversmithing instructor while launching small batch jewellery collections selling all over the world.”
Discovering a love in jewellery making was a bit of an accident. “After taking the silversmithing course in 2019, Covid hit and we were all thrown into lockdown. Being stuck at home with 3 young children and a husband in Houston, Tx, Jamie knew it was time to explore her passion. Jamie threw herself into watching jewelry making tutorials on YouTube, bought tools and started her small business within months of completing her first piece of Jewellery. Jamieleigh prides herself on only using high grade turquoise hand chosen from her trusted vendors in Nevada, Arizona and Utah USA. Relationships built during covid while living in the states. Jamie also loves gemstones like moonstone, labradorite, amethyst, as you will see in her newer pieces.
“Jewellery is more than an accessory, it’s a feeling.” Founded on a passion for high-quality craftsmanship and one of a kind design, the blend of timeless beauty with a bohemian spirit flows through all of her one-of-a-kind jewellery. Some of Jamie’s favorite jewellery pieces to create are unique sterling silver hoops in all sizes, large bohemian dangle earrings, bangle bracelets with charms and charm necklaces perfect for gifting. In July 2021 in admiration of Jamie’s talent and enthusiasm for creating unique jewellery, a local art studio in Houston Texas, asked her to become their silversmithing instructor. Jamieleigh went on to teach silversmithing courses for 2 years while helping create a creative community in their home town.
Jamieleigh and family immigrated to England with their dog and 2 cats to in February 2023. Jamieleigh talks about the challenges she’s faced when moving her family abroad, and often shares her story on life in the UK on her social media platforms. Jamieleigh is living and creating in her dream studio in a picturesque village south of London in Hampshire county. When she’s not creating jewellery, shes often walking her dog in nearby forests, enjoying raising her 3 children in the English Countryside and showing us all how to can manifest a positive fulfilling creative lifestyle.
