Starting her business in 2009, Rachel's part-time hobby quickly escalated into a full-time job. Being made redundant in October 2009 gave Rachel a push towards starting up on her own and she felt the time was right.
Rachel incorporates a beautiful array of gemstones in her designs. She travels up and down the UK and overseas sourcing different and unusual stones. Rachel now maked a range of stunning polymer clay rings, these are made from scratch and yet again she has taught herself the basic techniques when working with clay and has now mastered the more advanced techniques.
'Designing and making jewellery has been a passion for years. I began teaching myself the basic skills and over time I have now developed a core range of skills that I am very proud of'
Rachel recently rebranded the business from 'Jewellery Designs by Rachel' to BEAUELLE. 'I feel this has a better brand and feel to the business.
'Running and maintaining your own business is extremely challenging but very exciting and rewarding. To see the business grow and develop is fantastic. I am very lucky to have a supportive family and circle of friends. I would like to thank them for their patience and encouragement over the last two years.
