Diane Appleby Jewellery

Jewellery designer and maker Diane Appleby has exhibited nationally and internationally. Her love of rich colours, generous forms and sensuous textures bring a precious presence to her jewellery, giving it a unique individuality.

Diane enjoys designing collections for exhibitions, plus working directly with clients to design and make individual pieces. Whether the pieces are designed to accompany a celebration, such as a commitment ceremony, to celebrate the birth of a child, as a marker for a significant event, or of personal significance, Diane takes great pleasure in making pieces that capture and instill the essence of the occasion. She also enjoys collaborating with clients, enabling them to have an input into the pieces she designs for them.

“There is an alchemy when I work directly with clients, involving them in the design process. It imbues the piece with a special, personal meaning.”

From the bench

Three glowing rings

The frosty pink rose quartz, glowing milky moonstone and mysterious dark cats eye glow with the movement of the hand in this collection of rings.

Rich gemstone rings

My joy of combining rich colours was the inspiration for this collection of multi-stone rings.

Black and white neckpieces

Geometric sketches in black and white triggered this exploration of neckpieces with a pear shaped and square slab of onyx, a black and white marble and a heavy rounded donut of silver the key components.
