Reimagining meaningful jewellery into heirlooms that tell your story ❤️ Please request a consultation to begin — link in my about 🔗

Back to reality tomorrow after a brilliant (and exhausting) week at Eurocamp. The kids had the absolute best time, and honestly, that’s what it’s all about 🥰

(Though I am convinced parents need a mandatory two-day grace period to recover from a family holiday 😂)

Happy Father's Day to the one who survives the chaos with me. Thanks for being an incredible dad and the ultimate teammate. We’re lucky to have you. ♥️

Mark your calendars! 🗓️

I’m pleased to announce I’ll be returning to Swindon Open Studios for a fourth year running 🏃🏻‍♀️

Each year, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting lovely guests, many of whom went on to request a sentimental bespoke design.

Reimagining sentimental jewellery is a big step for many who do not wish to part with their original, meaningful pieces. The beauty of this event is that it provides a casual opportunity for locals to pop by, meet me, and enjoy a no-obligations behind-the-scenes chat 😊

Please feel free to visit with your precious metals and gemstones, or simply with your questions and curiosities. This will help you understand if I'm the right fit to honour the stories and sentiment of your pieces through reimagining.

I’ll be open to visitors on the 26 and 27 September, between 10 and 4 on both days. Refreshments will also be available 🍵

I look forward to meeting you 🥰

P.S. You can RSVP here: https://www.deanabaker.co.uk/myevents for my address x

Wendy's diamond, emerald & pearl pendant 🦪

Following on from Wendy's commissions, features a gifted pearl ring transformed into a pendant.

While the pearl ring itself was beautiful, pearls are quite soft stones and for everyday wear they often work better in pendants than rings.

We chose this modern asymmetric pendant combining 18ct gold and silver for contrasting effect, making the pearl the central focus of the piece. Complemented by rub-over set emeralds and diamonds for subtle detail.

A pendant that feels both modern and timeless, allowing Wendy to enjoy and cherish her sentimental pearl, but in a design that suits her everyday lifestyle much better.

If you have pearls you’d like reimagined to wear everyday, please get in touch and let’s discuss how we could bring your vision to life www.deanabaker.co.uk/consultation 💌

Pip's vivid reimagined milestone ring 📖

Pip came to me for something truly special to mark her 60th birthday, a gift from her husband.

She had quite a collection of jewellery, each piece carrying a different chapter of her life.

There was an engagement ring she’d been given at 18 but never married, and another engagement ring from her current husband that she no longer wore after the stones had come loose. She also had a multi-gold Russian ring given by her parents for her 18th birthday, a ruby and diamond ring, and even a pair of her husband’s rose gold cufflinks.

Pip’s main priority was making the stones the main feature of the piece in a modern, asymmetric cluster ring 💍

We decided to use gold from the Russian ring as the base material, introduce rose gold from the cufflinks to add warmth, and use white gold settings to allow the diamonds and rubies to really stand out.

The final piece is this asymmetric modern cluster ring in rose and white gold, featuring brilliant cut diamonds and vivid rubies arranged in a lively, organic composition.

A ring that brings together decades of memories into one celebratory piece.

Pip was absolutely delighted with the result 😌

If you have jewellery from different moments in your life that you’d love to see brought together into one meaningful piece, remodelling can be a wonderful way to do it.

From travels to treasure, Wendy’s reimagined bangle ✈️

Whilst travelling years ago, Wendy had collected several gold bangles. Although they held great memories, sadly, they felt quite thin, and she rarely wore them.

She wanted something with a bit more presence, a chunky piece that still incorporated gemstones from some of her original jewellery.

We created this mixed solid silver and gold bangle, combining brushed and polished finishes for texture. The design features flush-set diamonds alongside raised 18ct gold sapphire settings.

The finished piece has a strong, contemporary feel while carrying the memories of the original jewellery.

Wendy was delighted! And we’re not quite finished yet... I’m currently working on a pair of diamond earrings using her remaining stones. Stay tuned 👀

Susan came to me with an emotional story. Her first love and father of her children Derek had passed away before Christmas. His passing stirred up a lot of emotion for her and she wanted to create something that symbolised this chapter of her life.

Amongst her sentimental pieces included Derek’s wedding ring and a cross he had bought her, which she wore both on her wedding day and for the birth of her two children. She also had her broken engagement and wedding ring, plus her mum’s original wedding ring.

She asked me to reimagine the cross she’d worn all these years, and intertwine Derek’s ashes into the pendant. A piece that would encompass and hold together this chapter of her life.

I came up with three designs; this chosen design uses the white gold to create a vine which wraps around the cross, symbolic of wrapping that special part of her life. The sapphire from the engagement ring sits in the middle of the cross and below the cross, the diamond seals in the ashes below the cross.

The photo at the end is of Susan wearing the piece, she tells me it’s so special and she hasn’t taken it off since I presented it to her ♥️

Delicate heritage earrings for Katie’s mum 😌

Following Katie’s first instalment of reimagined pieces comes this pair of understated gold drop earrings.

As many of the original rings belonged to Katie’s mother’s side of the family, Katie also wanted to create something special for her mum using the remaining heritage gold.

Her mum’s style is more delicate, classic and understated, so we designed a pair of articulated drop earrings in heritage 18ct gold, set with diamonds. To keep that delicate feel, we made the articulated part (where the bar and the diamond attach) especially fine, drawing the wire down and then coiling it into jump rings (photos 5 and 6).

Comfortable for everyday wear, with a refined elegance. Creating these earrings allowed the sentimental materials to be shared across generations, honouring the past while giving Katie’s mum something she could treasure now.

Inherited gold can become a meaningful gift, reflecting personal style and symbolic of heritage. If you'd like to discuss this further, please request a consultation: www.deanabaker.co.uk/consultation 💌

Wendy's striking multi-faected stacking set 🎆

Wendy came to me with a collection of beautiful 18ct and 22ct gold jewellery set with sapphires, rubies and diamonds. Many of the pieces had been gifted to her while she was working abroad as a nanny, so they held lovely memories, yet the designs weren’t something she naturally wore.

Rather than leaving them tucked away in her jewellery box, Wendy wanted to transform the materials into pieces that felt more like her style: modern, chunky and practical for everyday wear.

One of the designs we created was a stacking ring set. This approach allowed us to incorporate many of her gemstones while giving her the flexibility to mix and match the rings depending on the day.

The finished stacking set is this striking four-ring design. Crafted in 18ct gold with a bold, modern feel, featuring numerous low-set sapphires, rubies and diamonds for comfortable everyday wear, that honours the memories of the original pieces.

If you are holding onto meaningful jewellery which you'd like reimagined into a fresh design, please get in touch to discuss how we can bring your vision to life (link in my bio)

Stay tuned for more of Wendy's reimagined designs 👀

Helen’s classic heirloom stacking rings 💍

Helen came to me with a variety of heritage and sentimental pieces she wished to reimagine together. Her nan’s diamond engagement ring and 22ct gold wedding ring, her great nan’s 22ct gold engagement ring, and her own diamond cluster and sapphire ring.

She also had other pieces, not of sentimental value, to offset against the cost.

Helen was after an asymmetrical design, with a modern yet classic feel. She was keen to only use diamonds and wanted a design that eventually could be passed on to her daughter.

I drew three designs for her, including two single stones ring and her design of choice, a classic stacking set.

This asymmetric diamond cluster with a flush set diamond band allowed us to maximise the diamonds she had and give her that classic yet modern feel.

Her daughter also loved the design, and Helen was very happy with the final set 🥰
