I believe in finding beauty in everyday life and in making jewelry that feels great to wear.
Patsy Kay Jewelry was founded by me, Patsy Kolesar. I'm an artist who makes one-of-a-kind art jewelry pieces for international exhibitions, but it's the thoughtfully crafted simplicity of my Patsy Kay line which are my go-to's for daily wear. All pieces are made from pure materials; copper, recycled sterling silver, and natural gemstones and handcrafted in my Vancouver BC, studio.
I was an award winning graduate from Vancouver Community College's Jewellery Art and Design program and have a lifetime love affair with all things beautiful. The Patsy Kay line was sparked by my love of old objects and peeling paint. It came into full fruition when I was doing an artist residency in Europe and fell in love with red roofed houses and rusty metal architecture.
These days the beauty I find in my everyday life is seen through the eyes of my five-year-old, who I’m homeschooling. It’s filled with stick and rock collecting, building marble mazes, hunting for beach treasures, and embracing messy piles of toys and art supplies all over the house. It is surprisingly, the most beautiful version of everyday life I’ve encountered yet. -Patsy
