Claire Girdlestone

Have you ever felt so connected to something that it needed to be captured forever, shaped by memory and held close to your heart?

Meet Claire, the artist behind ART to CHARM, who has been creating personalised jewellery for over seven years from her foothills home studio. Claire’s work is deeply personal and lovingly handmade. Each piece begins with a story, a moment, or a meaningful connection brought to life in solid sterling silver or gold. This is jewellery that goes beyond adornment. It’s crafted with care, heart, and intention to carry memory, celebrate relationships, and mark life’s most precious milestones. Drawing from a lifetime of creative pursuits and a deep love for people’s personal stories. From children’s artworks and grandma’s handwriting to the paw print of a beloved pet or a fingerprint from someone you hold dear, every piece is a tactile reminder of what matters most.

Claire also explores shape, texture, and movement in her most recent collection, bringing bold shapes to life in metal with impact. During Mundaring Hills Open Studios, Claire invites you into her processes to see how memories become translated onto metal and story becomes something you can wear. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at her tools, techniques, and process, and maybe even spark an idea for your own bespoke piece. Come be inspired by the art of meaningful jewellery. Discover how your story can be captured in silver or gold and have something truly personal created from what brings you joy.
