Established in 2007, Billy Would Designs offers unique jewellery and accessories handmade in North Vancouver, BC. Each piece is carefully designed and created using only recycled skateboards and reclaimed hardwoods. A west coast minimalistic feel that’s anything but simple. Special care is given to design, creating as little waste as possible. Jewellery is accented with sterling silver or 14k gold fill (unless otherwise marked).

Artist Statement:

As an artist, I’m always striving to create art that brings a sense of connection to the viewer. I make jewellery that I want to wear. Each piece is carefully handmade using selected reclaimed offcuts or old skateboards. I collect, clean, design, cut, and finish each piece in limited batches using various tools. Wood is such a beautiful medium to work with; often the colour, grain and natural markings will help shape the piece. Adea Chung N. Vancouver, BC Canada.
