Sian Hamilton

[excerpted from Hamilton Jewelry website]
I am Sian Hamilton, a Graphic and Web Designer, Jeweller, Editor and Author, and the inspiration behind Hamilton Jewellery. I'm a passionate designer who graduated in 1991 with a BA (Hons) in 3D Design and I've been in the creative design industry ever since. At university I specialised in metals and jewellery design in particular, with a minor study in ceramics. One of the highlights of my career was being a prominent designer at W. Moorcroft PLC for 8 years and my pieces are still widely found online and in the collections of many Moorcroft fans (under the designer name Sian Leeper).

I was the Editor of a magazine called Making Jewellery for 9 years until its close in Spring 2019. I have also authored 14 books in the craft sector. I now design websites as Sapphire Blue Web Design. I still enjoy making pieces with metal clay and I do occasionally sell my work. I teach at private events when asked and I'm the Web & Tech Committee Chair for AMCAW (Alliance for Metal Clay Arts Worldwide), I also built and maintain their website.
