Our own story began in a big city and a whirlwind of love. Fast forward the years and we have collected gorgeous twins, a small boy full of rainbows and joy, a lot of tools, and over a decade of memories, laughter and love. It is this love that inspired us to begin making jewellery with a story to tell. And it is love which we pour into each and every piece we make, although admittedly the tools are also a great help!
Our jewellery is rich in sentiment. Central to each piece is a feeling or memory, a moment of parenthood or celebration and rememberance of a loving relationship, turned into something tangible and beautiful, to wear and enjoy forever. The forever part is important to us - our jewellery is made well and made to last. After all, jewellery such as this is often of great importance to the wearer, whether made from precious gold or simple steel. We use a mixture of traditional fabrication techniques, ultra modern technology and quality craftsmanship, to ensure our jewellery will be worn and enjoyed for a lifetime. We work with a wide range of materials including 18ct and 9ct gold, sterling silver, copper, stainless steel, aluminium, resin, leather, wax, even paper and ink, and are continuously creating new designs and trying new techniques. We really are true creatives at heart, and nothing gives us greater joy than taking an idea from conception to completion. We like to think this shows in our designs.
Our jewellery is made for you by us, every single piece passing through our hands and receiving the utmost of care and attention to detail. From the early stage drawings, to the hands on bending and sawing of metal, to the mysterious art of polishing, to the careful hand packaging. We may take a little longer to craft our pieces because of this, but it ensures you get the makers skill and love each and every time you order.

Our prints are captured using Laser Technology resulting in beautifully detailed, deep-set prints. Lasered prints will far outlast "imprints" in silver clay & frosted surface engravings.
Our jewellery is hand made in the U.K. using U.K. sourced materials. Established since 2012 we are specialists in memorial & keepsake jewellery.
All our designs are made to order and fully customisable. Handwritten messages can be engraved on most of our designs at no additional cost!
Wherever possible we use recycled, FSC certified or organic materials to make & package our products. The gold & silver used to make our jewellery is recycled.
