Happy 1st July! ☀️🍓❤️

Welcome to the heart of summer, the month of sunshine-filled days, Wimbledon, festival season, and July’s fiery birthstone - the Ruby.

Rubies symbolize passion, love, courage, and prosperity. Known as the “king of gemstones,” their rich red glow has been treasured for centuries as a symbol of vitality and protection. Associated with confidence and strength, rubies are believed to inspire energy, success, and deep emotional connection. ✨

Some treasures deserve a second life.

This elegant pendant began life as a vintage silver plated fiddle teaspoon before being lovingly transformed into something to wear and treasure every day.

Complete with its original character and crafted by hand in my Cotswolds studio, every necklace is completely one of a kind.

A thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift for birthdays, anniversaries, thank yous, or simply because. Especially fitting for a 23rd wedding anniversary, traditionally celebrated with silver plate.

♻️ Made from authentic vintage silver plated cutlery
🤍 Hung on an 18" sterling silver snake chain
🎁 Beautifully gift boxed and ready to give

Wedding season is here... and so is anniversary season! ✨

Many couples choose to mark milestone anniversaries with traditional gemstones and symbols, each carrying its own special meaning:

• 5th Anniversary — Petrified Wood, symbolising strength, stability, and a love that continues to grow over time.
• 30th Anniversary — Pearl, symbolising wisdom, sincerity, and enduring love.
• 35th Anniversary — Coral & Jade, representing love, harmony, and friendship.
• 40th Anniversary — Ruby, a symbol of deep passion and lasting devotion.
• Any Anniversary — Two custom birthstones nestled together, representing your unique bond.

These timeless anniversary symbols can inspire a truly personal piece of jewellery. For example, a Two Peas in a Pod necklace featuring the appropriate stones and a meaningful engraving creates a keepsake to treasure for years to come. Available in both silver and 14k filled gold.

One of my favourite parts of my process is seeing your beautiful pieces come together. After all the careful crafting and finishing touches, each item reaches its final stage, where it is lovingly polished, inspected, and prepared for its journey to you.

Every order is thoughtfully wrapped and packaged with the utmost care, ensuring it arrives as special as the moment it was created. I truly enjoy these final steps, knowing that something made by hand is about to find its new home.

If you'd like to make your order even more personal, I'd be delighted to include a handwritten note inside your package. Whether it's a gift message, a few heartfelt words, or a special occasion greeting, just let me know and I'll happily add it for you.
