Our story

One pair of hands

A jeweller's wooden workbench with hand tools, gold wire and an unfinished ring

This page is a placeholder — every word below can be rewritten later.

I started making jewellery at my kitchen table, mostly for people I loved. A ring for a daughter. A pair of earrings for a friend who was having a hard year. Somewhere along the way there were more requests than there were birthdays, and this little shop happened.

Everything here is made by hand, by me. I cut, solder, file and polish each piece at the same small bench, which means no two are truly identical — a slightly different curve, a stone set a hair off centre. I have decided to call that character rather than error.

I choose metals I would happily wear every day, and I would rather make one good thing slowly than ten quick ones. If a piece takes a fortnight, it takes a fortnight.

If you would like something made for a particular person or a particular day, write to me. I read every message myself.
