K - Bo Handcrafted Jewelry

Kathleen Bourne is a silversmith born and raised in Victoria, BC. She makes a variety of sterling silver jewelry-- rings and hoops being her current favourites. She creates her pieces using basic jewelry hand tools, typically incorporating beautiful and unique gemstones which she purchases from local/ small businesses or collects while traveling. She took silversmith lesson from Judith Hirczy in Victoria, and has been working on her passion of jewelry making for over five years. Kathleen has always been involved in the arts throughout her life as it brings her joy and gives her a space to be expressive and creative. She is inspired by the sea, the sky and faraway lands. She is particularly drawn to the blue and iridescent stones as they remind her of the ocean that we are so fortunate to have as our backyard and the breathtaking beaches she visited while traveling.
