I’m a jewellery designer and hand-engraver, who specialises in traditional, Italian hand engraving. Using ancient skills to create modern classic.

Epona Smith is a London based jeweller and hand-engraver, who specialises in traditional, Italian hand-push engraving. She transforms traditional heirlooms into contemporary jewellery. she engraves precious metals with textures of silk and velvety finishes, as well as decorative patterns of floral, infinity and damask motifs, creating unique and distinctive pieces. She skilfully merges the classic

European technique elements with a sophisticated oriental attitude. Her work is not only to integrate the beauty of European and Asian cultures, but also to redefine the way of story telling of traditional culture and create a new aesthetic.

Time leaves its fingerprints, even on gold.

The engraving had faded, the form gently collapsed from years of being loved, held, lived in.

I remade it by hand, tracing every line back to its origin, restoring its strength, its weight, its quiet presence.
Not to replace the past, but to carry it forward.
A new form, holding the same memory.

Some pieces are not just jewellery.
They are chapters that refuse to close.

If you held something like this in your hands… would you restore it, or let it fade?

Some pieces take their time.

This one stayed with me a little longer…
a hand engraved koi, swimming through light, with opal bubbles that shift like water.

In many cultures, koi carry the meaning of wealth, flow, and quiet strength.
I always felt this one was waiting for the right person to receive that.

And then, one day, it found her.
The moment she tried it on, it just settled.
Like it already knew where it belonged.

That’s the part I love most.
When a piece leaves my hands and begins its own journey.

Do you believe jewellery chooses its person? ✨ 🐟

Wedding bands fresh off my bench. 🌊
Q&P wanted something that felt like the ocean to them. So that’s what we made together.
Every line you see in that blue is hand engraved, one stroke at a time, before the enamel goes in. The colour shifts depending on the light, just like water does. And that little thread of gold running through? That was their idea. I loved it immediately.
Making wedding bands is always different from making anything else. Someone is going to wear this every single day for the rest of their life. That stays with me the whole time I’m working.
So honoured to be trusted with something like this. 🤍
📩 DM me if you’d like to talk about your own bespoke wedding bands.

Got it. Let’s keep it natural, warm, and very you.

Here’s a more human, conversational version:

⸻

I’ve always loved butterflies… but not the perfect, symmetrical kind.

These two feel a bit more real to me.
They meet somewhere in the middle, but they’re not identical. Each one has its own rhythm, its own way of catching the light.

I hand engraved the wings so they move softly when you wear them. The little diamonds are like tiny drops of light, and the gold beads just add a bit of warmth, almost like a quiet glow.

I like that you can wear them closer together, or let them drift slightly apart.
It feels a bit like a relationship. Close, but still with space to breathe.

📩 DM me if you’d like one of your own.

Two butterflies. One pair. 🦋🦋
I made them as a couple, always facing each other, like they’ve just landed in the same moment.
But the thing I love most? You don’t have to wear them together.
Pin both on one lapel. Wear one on your jacket, one on your bag. Give the other to someone you love. There’s no rule here , just you and however you want to wear them.

Hand-engraved silver, diamond details, little gold beads catching the light. Every wing line cut by hand.
I quite like the idea that they don’t always need to stay as a pair.
Sometimes they meet.
Sometimes they don’t.
How would you wear them? 🦋

📩 DM me if you’d like your own pair — or just one.

She didn’t stay on the beaker forever. 🐦
This magpie was born on a silver beaker — hand-engraved, wings spread, mid-flight. Then I made her into a brooch. Same bird. Same hand-cut feathers. Same diamond eye and gold beak.
And she’s ready to fly home to you.
Pin her to your lapel, your coat, your favourite dress. Let her go everywhere with you.
✨ Ready to ship — one of a kind.
📩 DM me to make her yours before she’s gone.

What a truly special evening ✨
So privileged to have attended the private viewing of the GCDC Awards 2026 at — seeing all the winning pieces displayed together like this was just breathtaking. The talent in this industry never ceases to amaze me 🤍
And there she was — Seasons of Light — sitting quietly in that cabinet, and I genuinely had a little moment 🥹 This vessel, combining multiple engraving techniques with various colour treatments, received the Silver Award in 3D Design – Silversmithing this year, and seeing her in this setting made it all feel so real.
To everyone at GCDC who puts this together — thank you for celebrating craft so beautifully. What an honour to be part of it 🥈✨

And she’s ready to fly home to you. Today.

She flew off the beaker… and landed on your finger. 🐦

The magpie ring is the companion piece to a silver beaker I made — same bird, same wings, same hand-engraved feathers. But look closer at that deep blue body.
That’s dumortierite — a stone whose natural silky fibres already look like feathers. Nature did that part. I just gave her silver wings, a diamond eye, a gold beak, and gold feet.

Every feather cut by hand. Every detail intentional.

One bird. Two pieces. One story.
