Vesta Jewellery - More Than Just a Name

Vesta Jewellery logo

The brightest asteroid in the night sky is named after the Roman Goddess Vesta (Greek: Hestia) of hearth, home, and family. Represented by flame and fire, she is the spark of life that burns inside us all, our inner flame. She is the inspiration to keep going and the light that guides us out of darkness. She symbolises feminine creative energy, inspires us and brings us the joy we feel in our accomplishments. Vesta connects us to our sense of purity, devotion, and purpose.
Through that inner fire we are illuminated, strong and protected.

Vesta Jewellery is the culmination of Bree’s inner flame. Her creative energy and inspiration have led to the pieces she shares with us. The joy she feels with each new creation and achievement is a light that she shares with her whole family.  Bree’s devotion to her craft and burning desire to create, continues to be reflected in each new piece she delivers.

In ancient times the importance of the hearth – the fire at the heart of the home, was incredibly sacred. This is where the family gathered to keep warm, connect and tell stories. A place to cook food, burn away the excess and cleanse themselves after a long day. In some traditional folk law, the hearth represents the spiritual link between ancestors, families of today and the descendants of tomorrow.

There is something about a piece of Vesta jewellery that has been lovingly made by hand with precious metal. A piece that will survive the test of time and can be passed down through families. Along with the stories it represents and continues to tell.

Vesta’s fire is embracing, cleansing and powerful. When hot enough it can melt metal. In the natural world it clears out the old debris to make room for new growth.

Fire is integral to Vesta Jewellery; annealing, melting, soldering, heat treating. Forming and rearranging the metal into new creations.

Jewellery and art can hold so many different meanings for different people, it is one of the ways we collectively tell stories, feel powerful, protected, and special. It is a way to share that inner spark with the world.

By combining these processes with a love of wearable art, Vesta Jewellery gives you a way to share these stories, connect and illuminate the darkness.

Bree Wilson - Jewellery Artist

Bree Wilson, jewellery artist

Bree spent most of her childhood with a pencil in her hand, eventually expanding into painting, and a range of other art mediums and creative pursuits. She has always had a keen interest in collecting shiny things, wearing jewellery, and making wearable art. So, when she discovered silversmithing, she knew she had found "the one."

Initially self-taught, she is currently undergoing formal training to expand and refine her abilities, consistently growing and exploring her creative process and skillset.

She is dedicated to finding progressive ways to reimagine what jewellery can be as an art form and to helping others find connection and parts of their own stories in these beautiful art pieces.
