Kelly Allanson‘s nomadic lifestyle has formed much of her designs and experiences. Spending her childhood summers exploring small bays on the BC coast via sailboat, and the trails by foot. Nature has always been an integral part of her designs and is often seen throughout it. She incorporates the textures and patterns she’s discovered in everyday life into her personal work.

Adult life led her throughout North America and parts of Europe and England. It is hard to say which place felt most at home, but each etched out a special spot in her heart; one day to be revisited. Kelly’s focus is on creating individual pieces for people that are looking for that perfect special something. A remake of a family ring, a new milestone in one’s life, a remembrance. She often uses recycled metals and stones. Re-fabricating it from scratch and bringing it to new life. Kelly loves spending time with a client one on one, until the perfect design has been worked out.

Kelly graduated from VCC Jewellery Art & Design Program in 2000. She is now back in Vancouver, BC with her family, after years of traveling and can be found sitting at her bench creating jewelry or in numerous other studios teaching workshops.

Please feel free to contact Kelly, if you are looking for a personalized design or remake. She is always up for a challenge and looking forward to the next project.

A well versed and exceptional instructor in many jewelry techniques. Kelly shares knowledge willingly and easily. As a jeweler and an artist, self expression is a fundamental part of her teachings and personal designs.
