Tiny worlds in silver & resin. 20+ years at the bench crafting precision, story-led jewellery for collectors. Owned by spaniels 🐾

Tiny World Friday feels a little different this we Tiny World Friday feels a little different this week.

This week has been one of those wobbly weeks over here, so instead of a brand new miniature world, I’m sharing a new addition to the Take Me To My Beach collection.

The original necklaces were inspired by beaches - 
The stretches of coastline we grew up visiting.
The places we swim.
The coves, harbours and sandy corners that somehow become part of who we are.

But over the last few weeks I’ve realised something.

Not everybody’s place is a beach….and even if it is, not everyone can collect sand from that beach.

Maybe it’s on the other side of the world.
Maybe you simply can’t get hold of any sand from it.
Maybe it doesn’t exist as a beach any more 

So I started wondering how else we might mark the places that matter.

The result is The Place Necklace.

A simple sterling silver tag hand stamped with either the geographical coordinates of somewhere important or its unique What3Words address.

Small, understated and deeply personal.

To anyone else it’s simply a silver necklace but to you, it holds a story.

My place is a small stretch of lakeside at Lake Taupo that I miss intensely.

What’s yours?

Picture for tax as his face is showing how I feel… Picture for tax as his face is showing how I feel…. Major Workshop casualty this week: my ancient oxygen concentrator has finally retired after years of loyal service. If any jeweller friends hear of a secondhand unit going, please send them my way….. Tufnell Glass aren’t selling them atm separately so that’s not an option.  Cookson are so overpriced it’s laughable…..

(and if you’re not a jeweller and want to help, my website is always open 😉) 

PS and if you are not a jeweller and wondering why I need an oxygen concentrator it’s for my smiths little torch - blow torch - and I use it for all my soldering and remelting jobs so it is vital….

Current antidote to the heatwave: Two tiny pengui Current antidote to the heatwave:

Two tiny penguins and a lone swimmer drifting through cool blue water.

I’m photographing these three today ready to add to the website - little wearable reminders that somewhere, somehow, there’s a breeze.

If one’s already calling your name before they go online, send me a message and I’ll show you properly first.

Tiny World Friday has returned! “The summer breez Tiny World Friday has returned!

“The summer breeze against our cheeks”

A tiny couple suspended inside pale blue resin, riding through warm evening air somewhere between memory and summer.

This piece immediately made me think of:
open windows,
staying out too late,
holiday evenings that seemed to last forever,
and going nowhere in particular just because you could.

The silver outer edge is hand-stamped with the words:
“the summer breeze against our cheeks”

Hung on a long sterling silver barleycorn chain, it feels less like a neat little pendant and more like carrying a tiny summer memory around with you.

One piece only, on the website now (link in bio) 

(And while Tiny World Friday has been quiet for a few weeks, the Take Me To My Beach commissions have been quietly gathering stories in the background too - tiny wearable worlds made using real sand from beaches people still can’t let go of years later ♥️)

Thank you for all of it. The messages, the shares, Thank you for all of it. The messages, the shares, the kind words.

I’m adopting the “one day at a time” mantra over here, staying in my tiny world groove and  continuing to make my little beauties. 

I was planning to take September off but that plan has changed….So instead I’m turning 60 in late July and apparently launching 60 pieces over 60 days (that to me is a perfectly rational response to burnout!) - there will be some archive pieces, a lot of one offs, and some old faithfuls - I’ll keep you posted. 

In the meantime, “Tiny World Friday” will be returning and I’m just getting the first trickles of sand in for my “Take me to my beach” bespoke necklaces which is exciting! 

I’m hoping it gets easier for makers everywhere. We’ve got this (Probably….!) 

Love ya’s xx
