Created By Lau

Created By Lau Mixed media jewellery for the bold souls & boho babes. 🎨✨ Home of Welded Bonds: permanent, clasp-free chains custom-welded to you. The Art of Being Bold. Bold.

One-of-a-kind pieces handmade with heart in Yorkshire. No mass production, just pure style. 💖 I don’t do "high street." I don't do "mass-produced." And I definitely don't do "boring." I’m Lau, and Created By Lau is where my obsession with high-end fashion meets the soul of handmade craftsmanship. With a background in fashion, I don’t just make jewellery; I create statement pieces for the boho babe

s and stylish women who want to own something as unique as they are. From bold, mixed-media designs using polymer clay, resin, and textiles to my latest addition—Welded Bonds—everything I do is about making you feel like the only version of yourself. Why Created By Lau? One-of-a-kind & Small Batch: You won’t walk into a room and see someone else wearing your piece. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Mixed Media Magic: I play with textures and materials to create wearable art that's daring and stylish. Welded Bonds: My permanent jewellery service. Think dainty, high-quality chains custom-welded to your wrist. No clasps, no fuss—just a permanent spark of magic to represent your story or a bond with someone special. I’m a Yorkshire lass through and through, which means I value quality, honesty, and a bit of a personal touch. Whether you're here for a statement necklace that turns heads or a permanent chain that stays with you forever, you’re supporting a local maker who puts heart into every single weld and every single bead. Stylish. For the ones who aren't afraid to stand out.

Summer 2026. A rating. By me.

I wasn't sure I was going to share any of this.

This summer has been a bit of everything, if I'm honest. Grief. Doubt. Creativity. Markets. The studio chaos slowly turning into something beautiful. Time with the people I love most. And plenty of moments that reminded me why I started doing this in the first place.

There have been days when I've genuinely questioned whether I should carry on. Watching small businesses close their doors, having disappointing markets and wondering if I'm fighting for something that just isn't working.

But then I make something new and remember how much I bloody love creating.

Or I get to be part of someone's story through Welded Bonds and remember that what I do is about so much more than just jewellery.

And then there are the little signs that seem to show up exactly when I need them. 🪶

So, Summer 2026...

Not perfect. Not easy. But full of love, creativity, memories and reminders to keep going.

And honestly? I think that's a pretty good rating. đź’–

Here's to whatever September has in store.

01/09/2026

Six weeks is a long time in Instagram years.

I’m not going to do a whole speech about it; the only thing more awkward than disappearing is coming back and making it a whole thing, so let’s just… not.

Here is what I can tell you: I’ve been making things. New pieces have been keeping the bench busy, and Welded Bonds bookings are open, and I have really missed it.

September is going to look different. More from the bench, more of the process, more of the stuff I don’t usually show. Starting this week.

Right. Was anyone actually worried, or is it just me who makes it weird?

2026 so far? Honestly it's been a juggling act.

New job. Growing competition. Quiet bookings. Inconsistent content. Slow events.

But also handmade sales are picking back up. Etsy orders after YEARS of silence. A community of people who keep showing up for me even when I'm not showing up enough for them.

So yeah. 4/10. And I'm okay saying that out loud.

Swipe to see me rate every juggling ball, the good, the not so good, and the ones I've definitely dropped.

Let’s be real for a second, boho babes. As an independent fashion designer making handmade bespoke jewellery, I have a massive confession to make.

I’m officially using AI models to showcase my latest creations.

Here is exactly why. Because every single piece I create under Created By Lau is one-of-a-kind jewellery or made in an ultra-exclusive small batch, shooting content is a beautiful nightmare. I can’t exactly hire a professional model and book a studio every time I finish a single statement necklace or a pair of bold wearable art earrings.

You want to see how these high-end, unique-style accessories actually look when worn, how they drape, how big they are, and how they elevate an outfit. And I want to show you!

So, I put it to a vote on my stories, and the sisterhood has officially spoken (swipe to see the poll results!). You’re totally on board with me using AI to bring these mixed-media jewellery pieces to life.

Don't worry, the jewellery itself is 100% real, handmade by me in my Yorkshire studio using premium polymer clay, resin, and textiles. The only thing simulated is the gorgeous model wearing them. It’s slow fashion meeting smart tech, so I can keep bringing you the bold fashion inspiration you love, without the high-street corporate waste.

Swipe through the carousel to see the results of our first tech-styled shoot!

Yesterday was that kind of day.
Vintage Day with the wonderful vintage cars, a live singer, Commercial Street buzzing, and we were right in the middle of it all welding on permanent bracelets and anklets like it was the most natural thing in the world.

There's something really special about welding bonds at an event like this. Jewellery that lasts, at a day that feels timeless.

We're back with in August — save this post so you don't miss it!
