Hi! It's nice to meet you!
Heya, I'm Keeley, lover of all things pastel, Thai food enthusiast and proud Mumma to two cheeky little pickles (plus one sassy King Charles Spaniel).
I'm also the hands, heart, and slightly chaotic brain behind Moon & Dusk.
When I'm not wrangling the kids or sneaking a cheeky Match Latte, you'll find me making your jewellery, answering your emails, lovingly wrapping your orders, and doing it all to the soundtrack of acoustic guitar and soulful lyrics.
Every piece of jewellery is made by me, from sketch to sparkle, because I want your whole Moon & Dusk experience to feel like a thoughtful little gift to yourself.

Why I Started Making Jewellery
It all started in the middle of a mum-life identity crisis (you know the kind...snacks everywhere, can't remember the last time you finished a hot cuppa, and you're not entirely sure who you are beyond 'Mum').
I needed something to get a little bit of 'me' time back. So I picked up some silver and a blow torch and for the first time in ages, I felt like 'me' again.
Making jewellery gave me a purpose, calm and a creative spark outside of being a Mum. It was less about the sparkle and more about slowly reconnecting with myself again...one necklace at a time!

What I Love Making And Why
I'm obsessed with creating jewellery that feels like a little whisper of encouragement. The kind of piece you reach for when you need a boost, or when you just want to feel like yourself again.
I work mainly in silver because it's timeless, versatile and symbolises femininity and the Moon!
I love using celestial symbology in my designs which are often inspired by motherhood, growth, and all the phases we go through as mums. Because we are all works in progress, and that deserves to be celebrated.
Whether it's a ring to fidget with when your brain's doing somersaults, or a necklace that reminds you you're allowed to take up space, I make jewellery with meaning, not just sparkle.

What Is The Driving Force Behind Moon & Dusk
Moon & Dusk is all about helping you reconnect with the version of yourself that got a little buried under life.
I want you to put on a pair of earrings and feel that flicker of 'you-ness'...The part thats still curious, dreamy, confident and a little weird (in the best way), and fully worthy of being seen.
My pieces are here to remind you of your magic on the days you forget, and to celebrate you on the days you remember.
Everything I create is made with intention, care and just enough woo to make it fun.
Qualifications and Training
One thing you begin to appreciate pretty quickly about jewellery making is that there is always so much more to learn. There are so many techniques and processes it literally takes a life time to work through them. I think I will always be enthusiastic to try and learn new techniques. So far I have been lucky enough to do training in both Silver Clay and traditional silversmithing jewellery making techniques including a 12 month course with the Edinburgh based Silver Clay School, Level 1 & 2 jewellery making and other specialised modules including Mitsuro Hikime wax forming and Sand Casting at the amazing Vanilla Ink Studios in Glasgow.
I have also compled my Diploma in Silver Jewellery with the Jewellers Academy.
I am registered at the Edinburgh Assay Office for Hallmarking
I am a member of the Guild of Jewellery Designers.
