Hola, I'm Lucy!

Founder of Lucy Walker Jewelry

Making jewelry and teaching others to do the same is my biggest passion…so it always breaks my heart when I see creators too intimidated by design to pursue their dreams too! After 17+ years in the jewelry industry (and through helping 8000+ people kickstart their own journeys too), I’ve come to realise that we all need a little help with design sometimes.

Whether you’re new to creating jewelry, or just feeling stuck in a design rut, I’ve created these templates to get you out of your head and onto the tools sooner! You don’t need to recreate the wheel, but you do need to create beautiful pieces that you’re proud to share with the world - and with this template pack, you’ll be geared up to do exactly that. I can’t wait for you to get stuck-in.
