The Apprentice Jeweller behind 404 Pieces

Claire Marie is an apprentice Jeweller creating wearable art from her bedroom studio in Brunswick, Naarm. What began as a beadworking hobby to de-stress after work, quickly evolved into her life’s passion.
Inspired by Gothic, Victorian, and Baroque themes, she enjoys working with both precious and recycled materials to create striking and sentimental pieces.
Learning handmade traditional jewellery at TAFE, machine-made jewellery at work, and teaching herself wax carving at home, Claire experiments with a large variety of techniques and tools.
Currently busy with TAFE and completing custom orders, she plans to take on new commissions after her graduation late August 2026.
