One whole month with Evie Iris Nimmo… so easy to love 🩷 and her being here will never be taken for granted.

Just want to take a moment to show off these 18ct gold wedding rings I was honoured to design and make for friends, who became Mr and Mrs last weekend 💞

What wasn’t expected was I’d be in hospital, due to pregnancy complications, when I should have been travelling to London to personally deliver the rings, at the start of July. (I’ll save the pregnancy stuff for another post).

So, Guy and Maya came to collect the rings from Northampton General hospital, and sat in the little ward garden where I spent weeks in the run up to baby Evie’s arrival.

At such an anxious time, seeing these guys - who became my first visitors - made my day, and their reactions to the rings were so heartwarming. (Scroll to see pics and - warning - a very huge belly in the last one 😉!)

Guy had previously commissioned me to design and make a bespoke engagement ring for Maya.

And so they said they couldn’t imagine getting their wedding bands from anyone else 🥰!

And so Maya’s band needed to be designed to fit neatly around the unique waved shape of her engagement ring.

While Guy wanted a classic style band, but with its own touch of identity, so we decided on a subtle hammered effect and matte/brushed texture.

I also hand-stamped their wedding date inside the bands, just like the engagement ring, which has the date they first met stamped inside.

Both are hallmarked at London Assay Office , which always includes my makers mark and is quality assurance of the 18 ct gold I say it is.

Thank you so much Guy and Maya for putting your faith in me!! And thank god you were able to get them in time for your big day, thank you for making the effort to come to the Shire and brighten what was quite a difficult time 😉💖!!

🌈 It’s the first ‘Rainbow Baby Day’ that has a different meaning.

I saw multiple full rainbows over the back of our house in the weeks after we found out we were pregnant for an 8th time.

A little part of me wanted to believe ‘maybe this time’.

But when all you know is 10 years of loss, it’s so difficult.

We never expected 2026 to be bringing us our ‘Rainbow baby’, or believed life ever would, but fate intervened, and she’s here.

It doesn’t erase the heartache that led us here, for the little lives we created and never met.

My heart will always recognise that pain, and hurts for others who feel it too.

But now it’s expanding more and more than I ever imagined it could, each day for our girl, who we’ve finally met at the end of our rainbow 🌈🩷

Evie Iris : a name we chose before realising their meanings - ‘life’ and ‘rainbow’ : you are so cherished by so many sweet girl.

Two weeks ago our world changed 🌍🥹
This is Evie Iris Nimmo 🩷🌈

After 10 years of trying to start a family, and experiencing so much heartache and loss, it finally happened.

We didn’t dare to believe for the whole 36 weeks and 5 days, until she was here, in our arms.

But on the 3rd August, we were able to stop holding our breaths and we met our daughter for the first time.

For some, I know this will be very unexpected news! As I’ve kept very quiet on here while we waited with apprehension, anxiety and hope.

I also truly understand the conflicting feelings it may bring others of you 🤍

I have so much more to say, but for now, it’s just to share our relief that beautiful Evie defied the odds, and she is here 💕

The Lakes; a few more lovely, relaxing days away last week, spent with my Uncle and Aunty in the Lake District where they live 🫶🏻

Rain, walks, goats, good food, ice cream, lovely accommodation, and the world’s strongest b**r!

Back to the bench, after a lovely few days away, and back to working on a bespoke wedding ring, which will sit around this engagement ring that I had the honour of making last year 💛💍! It’s trickier aligning them than I thought it would be ☺️ but I love reaching the point of a make, when you can see your vision coming to fruition!! 💫
•joben and thank you for your patience and belief as always 🙏🏻

(And don’t panic, the dodgy brown and greenish colours tainting the gold are all part of the process from heating and soldering 😉!!)

When it’s too hot for fluffballs 😼 and fireballs 🔥!

(Been working on some very special wedding rings that need a LOT of heat to manipulate the gold 🥵!)

We’ve got this Jasmine 💪🏻😻!!

A week of lovely things…!

Celebrating my nephew turning 12 and spending time with my family in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🫶🏻

A day in London with and 🌹for afternoon tea and rooftop views. Not just a well overdue catch up, but actually more to get together after tragically losing our very dear friend Kim in December. She should have been there. And even more, she would have loved to have been there, as she was always trying to organise this between us all. You think you have all the time in the world. We laughed, cried and reminisced. And hope Kim, you were watching over us just chuffed that we got a date in the diary at long last!

And a lovely visit from my Welsh girls to the Shire 🧡 the first since pre-Covid! (Within a week we’ve gone from wearing woolly jumpers and scarves to summer outfits 😂)!!

⚡️This one was sent out at the end of last week for a 50th birthday gift 💝

It’s not the first bolt necklace I’ve made and hopefully won’t be the last!

As you can see from the pics - they are hand-sawn, filed and polished, one by one, and so every bolt that I make is unique from the next ⚡️⚡️which, I hope you’d agree, is pretty special as a gift ☺️!

Thank you Ali for asking me to make it, for supporting my mini jewellery biz for so long and for coming back for more 🙏🏻!

💕
