About us
Brand Philosophy
FunkyFunYou is a handmade earring brand, but it is also so much more. FunkyFunYou creates not only jewellery, but a way of thinking and living. Funky living is playful, crafty and sparks creativity. It's a lifestyle that champions difference, and supports individuality.
Each FunkyFunYou product possesses a tiny fantasy world of its own, carrying a meaning with no boundaries, travelling across memories timelessly, from the past, for the present and into the future.

✂️ How our products come to life?
FunkyFunYou Jewellery
All FunkyFunYou jewellery is handmade. Amy turns her garage into a small home studio where she can design and produce the products. Most of our earrings are made in small batches, some designs are made-to-order. We value being open about our making process, and responsible production is important to us.
DIY kits & Materials for the workshop
We also utilise suppliers when finding and creating the very best materials for our workshops and DIY kits. This includes acrylic sheets, metal findings and tools. We strive to minimise waste, and if we have any leftover pieces, they are used in our DIY workshops.
👀 Where does the spark come from?
We influence each other
All of the FunkyFunYou team members have different skills, interests and backgrounds. This means that we can learn from each other and inspire each other. For example, one of our first designs was our 'Friendship' earrings, which feature miniature figurines that Amy used for making models while studying landscape architecture.
Our creative and crafty audience
Our customers seemed to be very like-minded, with a keen interest in the craft and funky designs. So, we decided to host jewellery-making workshops. The best part was meeting a really fun new group of people every class, and we were inspired by their work every time.
New technology and materials
We're obsessed with searching for new materials and trying new technologies and craft techniques. We love to combine multiple materials (such as resin, clay, acrylic) together, and we constantly aim to explore new ways of creating earrings, DIY kits, home decors and more!
