About

Hello! I’m Billie Sammonds, the maker behind Made By Billie. I started making jewellery in 2021 and have loved every step, learning new techniques, refining my process, and creating meaningful pieces for people to wear and keep forever. There’s something so powerful about turning raw materials into something lasting, that holds memory, sentiment, and personal connection.

My process is hands-on, thoughtful, and rooted in making jewellery that feels personal and built to last. I use a process called sand casting, an ancient technique that’s over 2,000 years old. It starts with a hand-carved wax model pressed into oil-bonded sand, creating a mould. I pour molten metal (sterling silver or gold) into that negative space. The process leaves subtle, natural textures that can’t be replicated. No two casts are ever identical.

But that’s only part of my process. I also build chain pieces link by link, shaping and soldering each one by hand. I use metal wire to form into wearable shapes. and I also use beautiful gemstones to add a little something more to some pieces.

Made By Billie is about raw beauty, bold form, and thoughtful craftsmanship. I’m honoured to make pieces that become part of your life—worn, gifted, held close.
