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 😂)!!

Plus first bbq of the year and the cat’s got it right in this heat!! 😹☀️

⚡️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 🙏🏻!

The making of the Maltese star ring 🇲🇹 with very intricate piercing (sawing) of the stars from sheet silver, soldering them on to the band without them shifting as the solder runs, personalised with hand-stamped initials for family members, and completed with a matte brushed finish. Hallmarked with my own makers mark along with proof its sterling silver, that it’s been tested for quality at London’s Assay office, and the year it was made. I was nervous about getting this one right, but am so pleased with the outcome! 🛠️💫

More pics of the final ring in my last post.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared what I’ve been busy making over the past few months! So let’s start with…

A very bespoke design to incorporate the Maltese cross and family initials 🇲🇹❤️

Daniel had an idea of what he wanted but couldn’t find a ring like it anywhere.

So we worked on a design, incorporating his vision, and voila! 💫

It was an intricate and tricky piece to work on (I’ll share how I made it separately!), so I was over the moon that A. it looked like the design (!) and B. it was met with such appreciation…

Dan said it was absolutely amazing and he loves it! It’s exactly what he wanted… and that I surpassed his expectations!!

What high praise! ☺️

Thanks so much for trusting me with bringing your vision to fruition by making this special and long-awaited ring for you! I am overjoyed you love it so much!!

Hallmarked by the for quality control, with my unique ‘makers mark’ which traces it back to me as the jewellery maker.

I had a really proud moment yesterday, pouring my heart out to ALL the people who run on their staff away day.

I sat on a panel with two very strong and inspiring fellow Tommy’s supporters/fundraisers (their fundraising far surpasses mine tenfold!!), each with our own affiliation to the charity, and our own scars to bare.

And a very special moment was coming face to face for the first time with one of their bereavement midwives, Juliette, who made such an impact on me in 2023. I’d called their helpline when I was deep in the trenches following our 5th (of 7) miscarriages. And I no longer had the knowledge and support of a consultant, who I’d previously seen through a Tommy’s recurrent miscarriage clinic in London, as he had so sadly and suddenly passed away just a couple of months after I had seen him. At that point, I was possibly at my lowest, I felt so lost and I didn’t know where to turn. Juliette was a voice at the end of the phone who just got it. She offered to reach out to their other research centres and recurrent miscarriage clinics in Birmingham and Coventry for me, to take the burden off my shoulders and pass on everything we’d been through to their medics, when I had no energy to keep looking for answers. That kind and selfless act made such an impact on me when I needed it the most, and I’ve never forgotten it. So to sit there, telling that story of how Tommy’s has helped me, and looking at her in the audience, through my tears, to say thank I you, was really special.

I explained to the room I will continue to support and raise awareness of Tommy’s. For me personally, I am so behind them funding research into the unexplained traumas of baby loss with an aim to try and prevent it for future generations. They also campaign for changes in Government when it comes to maternal health and support through and after every miscarriage, which is so needed. But what a lot of people don’t know, is they do SO much for every stage of pregnancy.

It’s a privilege to be seen and heard by them. And I could see the passion in the room. What a charity! 🩷 Thank you for inviting me 🙏🏻xx

💎I was trusted with an extremely sentimental ring to replace a teeny diamond recently, and I was a little scared to get to work on it!!!

Why? Because it needed a new little claw to hold in a new diamond, which means heating the ring to solder the claw on. But, the gorgeous purple heart is an amethyst, and it doesn’t like heat much… meaning it could crack or lose its colour entirely. And I absolutely didn’t want to ruin a piece of jewellery that meant the world.

So after a bit of pondering, I decided removing the amethyst first was the way forward, which I’ve not needed to do before. So, I bought this new prong lifter tool at and it was so much easier to take out than expected - quite the game-changer!

Then I soldered on some 18 carat gold wire to create a new prong, and set a new 2mm sparkly diamond to match the rest, before re-setting the heart amethyst 💜! (Diamonds can generally take the heat, but I still used some heat-protective clay, just incase)!

Anne’s response was just gorgeous - “I’ll swear it is even better than brand new. Thank you 🙏 so very much. I’ll never be able to thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️###”

thank you for believing in me, for trusting me, and being patient while I plucked up the courage to give it the time and attention it needed. I am so glad it’s back where it belongs!! 🙏🏻

Roll back a few weeks to when I was asked to share our baby loss experiences with runners, who’ll be taking to the streets this weekend for the London Landmarks half marathon and raising money for 🩷🏃🏼‍♀️

I can’t tell you how proud I am to have been referred to, by the team, as part of the ‘Tommy’s family’… it’s not necessarily a family you would choose to be a part of, but they’ve made me feel seen over the years, not only as a supporter of the work they do, but having been supported by them numerous times through our losses.

These are the people working hard behind the scenes for the LLHM, which is a Tommy’s run event. They asked a few of us to explain why we’ve run it multiple times, our affiliation to the charity, and to give tips on fundraising and the big day. For a second year running, being part of the panel was emotional and an honour 💕

This time last year I’d been out running every week, topping up the kilometres to train, and asking for donations ☺️. I was then so buzzing after running it for a third time, that I signed up for 2026 pretty much straight away!! However, I’ve had to defer to next year, as an ankle injury stopped me running in Sept. But I know I’m going to be envious of those taking part (who am I?! 🤣)!

If you know anyone doing it - support them, sponsor them, go and cheer them on. It all means the world coz it’s bloody hard!! And if they’re raising money for Tommy’s they’re helping towards the constant research into why baby loss happens, with an aim to prevent it in the future.

As someone who has experienced it 7 times in a row, I can’t emphasise enough how important the work they do is towards understanding and finding answers to such complex and misunderstood heartbreak, alongside being there through the toughest of times for those experiencing it.

I’ll be rooting for each and every person who was at the Team Tommy’s training day 🩷 as well as the thousands of runners taking part for all sorts of charities 🫶🏻!

And I’ve not been asked to post this, it’s just so so close to my heart that I will forever advocate for them in the hope others don’t have to go through the same sadness as us in years to come 🩷

An Easter wedding with Be More Me jewels featuring amongst the guests (including me 😉), come take a look…

Loved this photo Mr BMM took of my bold and brassy earrings - designed for myself a few years back, and have made multiple commissions since. And they always get compliments 🥰

Then - this pic of one my TOP BMM customers! who is OBSESSED with silver jewellery, as you can see!! And amongst all that gorgeous bling you can spot a few of my pieces - hot pink agate chunky necklace and ring (gemstones from and proven to be a fave!)… and a silver chunky twisted thumb ring. I LOVE seeing my designs being worn when I’m least expecting it. Flic, you looked bloody fabulous!! 🩷

Next - an engagement ring with ocean diamond (stunner from ) and tanzanite (also a stunner from ), designed with my hubby’s cousin for his now fiancée. It’s 18ct white gold and has just been rhodium-plated to make it even more shiny 💍 And, looks even more gorge partnered with a lovely henna design for the wedding 🫶🏻

Also - my mother-in-law’s engagement ring, which I’ve recently rebuilt after the middle stone fell out and was lost. The original 22ct gold stone settings were so brittle after 50 years of loving wear, that we decided I would re-build all three settings from scratch. It was reunited with my MIL this weekend and is sitting back where it should be (Although I didn’t manage to get a photo of her wearing it 🤦🏼‍♀️)

And finally - a silver hammered bangle, commissioned by my father-in-law’s cousin, Aunty B. I’d made it and had ir hallmarked to ensure it was ready for this weekend. However, not everything works out perfectly when it comes to handcrafted jewellery 🥴 and despite working to measurements, it was a little too small. Closed bangles can be a tough one to size up! So, I’ll need to add a little more silver into the bangle, and sadly Aunty B has to wait a little longer to be paired up with her bling!

And… I can’t talk about a wedding without a few pics of the bride and groom, who put on a fabulous celebration with two ceremonies, three gorgeous outfit changes, amazing food and stunning venue! 💕 Thank you for having us!! X
