Joy’s Handmade Boutique is one of New Zealand’s leading independent polymer clay jewelry brands, and it’s not difficult to see why. Its founder Joy specializes in making quirky jewelry inspired by delicious foods we all know and love, and her creations look so incredibly real you’ll be tempted to take a bite.
Joy has been working with polymer clay since she was just 13 years old, but she put it aside for quite some time before rediscovering it years later. She decided to explore this hobby again in the midst of Covid lockdowns, and this eventually led to the launch of her brand Joy’s Handmade Boutique.
Joy says she loves making all things cute and whimsical, but realistic miniature polymer clay food accessories are definitely her specialty. Her jewelry inspired by our favorite comfort foods will make you do a double take because her creations look just as delicious as the real thing.
Joy’s food collection includes a wide range of permanent designs, taking the shape of croissants, pretzels, bagels, chocolate chip cookies, and many other tasty snacks and treats. These unique creations helped her attract over 170,000 Instagram followers and viral videos that capture her step-to-step process have been seen by millions of people worldwide.
