UPDATE | Time for a change ✨

I’ve worked so hard over the last 7 years and I am really proud of what I've achieved (with your help and support!) and it feels good to be ending on a high.

I can't sugar coat the fact that the past few years have been hard, and it has really taken its toll - I feel that I have given the brand and business all I can for now and it's time for a break. 

It's been a tough time for small businesses and mine has been no exception. Despite this, I am glad that I embarked on this adventure (for the past 7+ years!), your support has meant the world to me and I have no regrets at all!

I started the business back in February 2017 with a lot of hard work, determination and no investment - I built everything from the ground up. 

Since then I have made hundreds of bespoke wedding rings and engagement bands, picked up an award from the Crafts Council, had my pieces stocked in the Tate and Yorkshire Sculpture Park and made bespoke pieces for the infamous windows of Selfridges. These are all things I honestly never imagined would happen ❤️

To celebrate this BIG CHANGE  everything is discounted at 50% off online 

NO discount code is needed, the offer is applied automatically at checkout. Soooooo.. if you have had your eye on a textured treat- now is the time! 

Stock on the website is fully up to date and ready for delivery.

Please note, all sales are final and sale pieces are not eligible for re-sizing, return or refunds. 

Thank you so so much for all your love and support over the years, I appreciate it so much and it is something I will never forget. 

I'm now looking forward to the next chapter -  and if I do ever return to making jewelz in the future - you'll be the first to know.
