Michelle Yorke

Michelle Yorke’s jewellery is dearly loved by all who purchase it! Little wonder, she has been making jewellery “forever” and really enjoys doing so. Says Michelle: I first began stringing beads together as a ten-year old hobbyist, completely unaware that fate would grant me the joy of making it into a rewarding career. After years of experimenting with various styles and techniques I discovered the endless possibilities of combining wire and beads. While developing my craft I worked in various management positions in retail and in the communications industry. Before long my jewellery started circulating among my network of friends (and my friends’ networks of friends…) and the opportunity to make a career out of my all-consuming passion was realized…. I’m blessed with a wonderful life and a career that continues to challenge and inspire me, allowing my work to endlessly evolve. I love expressing myself through my jewellery creations and sharing this joy with the world. Michelle predominantly uses nickel-free stainless steel wire. Occasionally she uses brass and copper wire as well. The beads are made of glass, wood and semi-precious stones. There are no adhesives or glues used in her work, just wire, which gives her jewellery an organic quality. She has an amazing ability in combining colours and her pieces are unique in their design and colour juxtaposition. Born in the Maritimes and raised in the Halifax area, Michelle Yorke is a juried member of the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council, a position she has held since September 2001
