So pleased to be supporting We Free Women whose aim is to provide funded retreats for women, who for whatever reason just need a break. It’s a chance to to step back reset and reconnect. We’ll be making a donation with every Ted & Tallulah order, and we’re planning to provide a free gift to the wonderful women who attend the retreats.

This morning I woke up to a sponsored advert, by a major UK diamond jewellery retailer (with 224k followers) and the call to action on the ad was:
‘Jewellery That Holds Value’

Altogether now BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *deep breath* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(booing continues BOOOOOOOOO)

As always we’re here to tell you the truth: Jewellery doesn’t hold financial value — and here’s why.

There’s a common misconception that buying jewellery is “putting money into something tangible.” But here’s the thing: most things, including jewellery lose a significant portion of their new retail value the moment they’re purchased, much like buying a car or a television.

Firstly, retail pricing includes the gemstone mining and cutting costs, metal refining, design, manufacturing, branding, staffing, rent, packaging, insurance (we could go on and on but you get the idea, all the hidden costs of running a jewellery business). These costs run higher where people in the supply chain are paid fairly, particularly at the gemstone mining and cutting stage.

Secondly, resale markets operate at trade level. Whether it’s gold, diamonds, or gemstones, buyers are typically dealers who need margin to resell. That means offers are based on wholesale prices and not what you originally paid.

Precious metal and diamonds have a market value, so when you sell jewellery you’re usually paid the open market price, based generally on component weight, purity and in the case of diamonds, their cut, colour and clarity.

It’s not a financial investment.
It’s an emotional investment. It marks life’s moments, stories and milestones. A ring isn’t just a ring, it’s the day everything changed. It creates connections to the past, offering comfort. It reflects identity. And these are the things that really matter.
Don’t fall for the lie 🩷

📢 Welcome to our newest NAJ member - Ted & Tallulah

Elaine is the founder and maker behind Ted & Tallulah, a Dorset-based independent jeweller. As an independent maker, she has the freedom to devote thought and time to each piece, ensuring that every strike of the hammer or sweep of the file carries meaning, she works in small batches, and the use of traditional methods means that each piece remains unique, complete with its own little quirks, reflecting the true time and energy invested in its creation.

Much of Elaine's jewellery leans towards a chunky aesthetic, although every now and then she finds herself drawn towards creating something more delicate. Working mainly in recycled gold and silver, she recently discovered the beauty of crafting with brass. Like many jewellers, Elaine works with the intention of “buy once, wear forever,” she wants her jewellery to be lived in.

Keeping the impact on the environment as minimal as possible is central to the ethos of Ted & Tallulah, and as part of this commitment, a tree is funded with every purchase, the brand supports World Ocean Day, and all materials and packaging are ethically sourced.
