Imagine being lucky enough to find not one, but several four-leaf clovers. 🍀

This customer did exactly that, and sent me one to preserve inside her beautiful locket so she can carry a little luck with her every day.

This one has been sitting in my camera roll for far too long, and I’m so excited to finally share it!🌷

I had the absolute honour of creating this custom pair of bridal earrings for a very special bride to wear on her wedding day. Made with sunflower petals, forget-me-nots, rose petals, pansy petals and Queen Anne’s Lace, this piece was designed to reflect the vibrant, floral energy of her beautiful celebration.💒

Created back in December, this remains one of my favourite custom orders - there’s something so special about making jewellery that becomes part of such an important day and memory.

These are the moments I hold onto.🫶🏻
The conversations, the connections, and the joy of seeing my pieces worn and loved.

Catch me at .kindredmarket on the 3rd of May for my final market of the season!🥳
(Skipping the 10th - so this is the one! 👀)

There’s something deeply sentimental about Forget-me-nots… like they were made to carry memories.💙

One tale tells of a medieval knight and his love walking along a riverbank. He leaned down to pick these tiny blue flowers for her, but the weight of his armour pulled him into the water. As he was swept away, he threw the flowers to her and cried, “Forget me not!”

Another story says that when God was naming all the flowers, one tiny bloom worried it would be overlooked. So it called out, “Forget me not, O Lord!” - and the name stayed.

Across time, these delicate flowers have come to symbolise remembrance, enduring love, and the quiet promise that even when something (or someone) is gone, they’re never truly forgotten.

I think that’s why I’m always drawn to working with them… each tiny bloom holds a story, a memory, a feeling preserved in time.

There are some pieces that carry a little extra weight..🤍

This special set was made in memory of Muis - a soul dog, deeply loved and so missed. A sterling silver teardrop necklace and a dainty ring, both holding her ashes, with soft green tones and delicate Queen Anne’s lace and Solidago flowers woven in.

It’s always an honour to be trusted with something so meaningful, but even more so now, having my own dogs and understanding that kind of love a little deeper.

Thank you for letting me create something to hold her close, always.

I’ve been a little obsessed with these golden blooms lately.🌾
Solidago (also know as goldenrod) symbolizes encouragement, growth, and prosperity - and I love that it’s a flower that thrives even in the toughest conditions.

It feels like such a special one to set into a ring… a tiny piece of nature that carries a story of resilience, new beginnings, and a little bit of good fortune.
