About

Welcome! My name is Linzie and I am the founder and jewellery maker behind Blackbird + Bones. 

Blackbird + Bones was formed in 2018, the same year I completed Dip of Jewellery and Object Design. What started as a general jewellery brand has transformed into specialising in dog nose print jewellery. BB+Bs is the go to for your dog nose and paw print jewellery desires!

Honing my craft and focusing on this work has allowed me to connect with dog lovers worldwide as we work together to create these special pieces together. 

Born into a family of dog lovers, I spent my childhood growing up along side a beautiful German Shepard named Sammy, who lived to the ripe old age of 14. She was my best friend and losing her was devastating. 

Fast forward twenty years and I now have two dogs of my own Willie, 7 a Golden Retriever (dingus) and Alva 6, a Newfoundland (earth angel) and their companionship and devoted love was what encouraged me to lean in to the idea of celebrating our dogs lives through the permanence of precious metal jewellery.

When I'm not crafting your jewellery, you can find me learning drums (slowly), making self depreciating jokes and probably heading off to see a band play at a pub. I also love nature, swimming in fresh water, exploring new places and sitting in a quiet place and watching the world go by is my idea of a nice afternoon. 

Random facts aside, I love dogs and I love making jewellery. Being able to combine the two and also work with people all over on pieces that are sentimental and carry a lot of emotion is more than I could have ever wished for. 

Thank you for allowing me in to your world.
