About Cheree.
Meet Cheree Edwards, a designer and creator of exquisite jewellery pieces. Her jewellery journey began in 2010 when she took a silversmithing course to ease work-related stress. This experience sparked her interest in jewellery making, and she decided to pursue it as a career. Cheree dedicated herself to studying for a Diploma in Jewellery & Object Design at the Design Centre Enmore, followed by a jewellery apprenticeship and a Certificate III in Jewellery Manufacture.
In 2017, Cheree established her own business in the NSW Central West town of Kandos. She combines traditional hand skills with computer-aided design, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing techniques. Her jewellery pieces blend unique forms and fine craftsmanship, using precious and colourful materials such as platinum, gold, silver, diamonds, sapphires, spinel, moissanite, and morganite.
Moreover, Cheree values sustainable work practices and can repurpose outdated or broken jewellery to create new, luxurious pieces that honour the sentimental value of old jewellery. You can choose from her beautiful collection of ready-to-wear jewellery or discuss your ideas with her to create a custom-made piece that suits your style.
