Ruby Tuesday is a small business with five staff members, each with their own strengths, backgrounds and interests. They design and create jewellery on commission, working with precious metals, pearls and gemstones or any other medium the client desires. Inspiration comes from many sources - from listening to a client describe her dream piece of jewellery, or observing a tiny beetle in the garden, and often from shapes and patterns in nature, antiques or architecture. They feel privileged to be able to spend their working day making beautiful objects of desire using gifts from nature.
They work in conjunction with Jacquie Campbell, who has been making glass beads for three years and professionally for two years. The collaboration has produced an eye-catching and fun range of collectable art jewellery.
Jacquie spends upwards of six hours a day at the torch making beads, and finds this to be a very relaxing and inspirational form of art. She draws inspiration from nature and from the glass itself, and is constantly striving to improve her techniques and knowledge. Next year she will travel to America to gain more knowledge and learn new techniques, which she hopes to use to create more truly unique works of art.
