WELCOME TO FRANCESCA’S STUDIO
“I would say that the pattern emerges from the making, rather than the making from the pattern.”
~Francesca Stella

 

So says Francesca Stella about the process she encounters when in her studio creating her unique, conscious jewellery. Each nuggets of rendered gold, or spun bead of glass holds the intention of the artist to become not only a piece of jewellery but a piece of magic that can lead its wearer into the conscious moment. Francesca’s jewellery is a creation that begets creation: the creation of its new custodian’s personal world, complete with its hopes and dreams.

Jewellery

Francesca’s Sicilian roots gave her a fascination with gold, colour and the Baroque style that whispers out from her work, realised with recycled and Fairtrade gold as well as other ethically sourced materials and processes. Her path as an artist finds its voice through her jewellery, which she hand-crafts using her practiced skill and positive intention.

To own a piece of her jewellery is to engage in an active meditation created through the alchemic transformation of Francesca’s emotions and visions of conscious living, loving and creating. To browse her past and current projects please visit the Gallery.

Latest Work

Francesca’s latest collection features a series of 18ct gold jewellery, adorned with colourful beaded 3 dimensional patterns.

These pieces are inspired by Francesca’s connection with First Nation traditions and they are embedded with evocative messages, aimed to ignite a magical journey for the person who wears them.

Francesca made a beautiful necklace with gold around a piece of sea glass found by our children for my wife. She treasures the necklace and we could not be more happy with Francesca’s work. Lovely to deal with throughout the process and we’d recommend her to anyone.

I have the most beautiful ring from Francesca Stella. A vintage piece sourced and transformed back to its former glory to bring light and beauty into my life. Stella designs have always captured my heart and I feel so lucky to finally have something made by her. There is a sense of connection to the other realm, as if she weaves from spirit, only the finest, aligned threads of gold, a mini matrix captured in her pieces, like the life force of Gaia/universe itself. Professional, ethical and unique crafted/packaged pieces, of a rare beauty, depth golden and light 🌈

Francesca is an amazingly talented bead-craftswoman of world-wide repute. We went on a ‘serpent medicine’ journey together, as this necklace came into being – Francesca is a trusted sister to share intimate stories with as well as to invest in her professional creations. We used a carved snake head and moldavite pendant that I had been given, combined with Francesca’s exquisite bead work. It’s truly a work of art, my most valuable piece of ceremonial jewellery and sacred object of power.
