Jude Karnon Jewelery Maker

Jude Karnon started making jewellery as a hobby over fifteen years ago. When redundancy loomed from a website and communications role, Jude decided to turn her hobby into a successful business and Jude Karnon Jewellery launched in November 2015.

Jude works in both silver and gold and makes all pieces using traditional techniques and hand tools. Her passion is designing alongside her clients to create jewellery that encapsulates their personality, style and individualism. Aswell as Jude’s bespoke work, she designs and creates collections taking inspiration from nature, coastlines, sport, and history. Her main desire is to create jewellery to make people smile. She won Muddy Stilettos Best Jeweller in Herts and Beds in 2022 and was a finalist in 2023.

Jude began teaching jewellery making in 2016, and since then has welcomed over 400 willing learners to her own studio; teaching on a 1:1 basis. She is a tutor for Bucks Adult Learning, planning and teaching courses of ten weeks. Jude also teaches at a local art gallery and has taught at the Women’s Institute Denman College.

Jude has also studied gemmology with The Gemmological Association of Great Britain (Gem-A).
