9ct Gold Bracelet with Kyanite Gemstones
This lovely 9ct gold bracelet was created bespoke for a customer who fell in love with our kyanite earrings but wanted the kyanites on a bracelet instead.
The dainty recycled 9ct gold chain complemented the dark blue kyanite stone which is we think makes a fabulous statement.

Breaking the Boundaries Exhibition 2021
Working with The Coach House Galleries theme of breaking the boundaries, we created a piece sure to be a conversation point – our Adhibet earrings.
Made with kyanite, a gemstone which is resistant to thermal shock and often used in industrial ceramics to strengthen clay. Whilst it is not used in jewellery very often we think that it’s just gorgeous. Perfect for an exhibition on breaking the boundaries.
Hanging super long they create fabulous movement, showing off the layers of chains and the sparkles of the stones.
Made from 44cm of sterling silver chain they are perfect for an exhibition piece and definitely “breaking the boundaries”.
44cm long, kyanite gemstones, sterling silver chain, sterling silver ear hooks, £399.
To the left is our new more wearable version of the adhibet earrings, still fabulously long and dangly at 7cms – just more practical.
These have now sold, but we can recreate a them with different stones and styles of chains. If you are interested in your own commissioning a version of these earrings, pop us a messgae at [email protected] .

COVID Blue – Colour Theory Essay
The state of not feeling quite right, but not quite being able to put your finger on the reason why. Not physically ill, not suffering any actual symptoms of anything that can be seen or treated in the traditional sense. Just feeling low – not depressed, not even anxious – just uncertain about the future. Feeling that the rug has been pulled out from under the feet. Whether or not the rug was actually blue.
Needing a dose of something incredibly vivid to shock the system into feeling itself again. Be more vivid – always a good stage direction.
Those delicious shades of blue that connect us to the sky – with no vapour trails – we all saw that sky this summer and marvelled at its clear expanse, feeling the benefit of those calming shades over our heads.
The piercing bright blue of light hitting the water at a certain angle – marvelling at its opaque expanse, feeling the benefit of those waves, whether we swam in them and felt the power of the negative ions or walked alongside them and heard the soothing sounds.
So, for COVID, blues, the antidote might actually be COVID blues, who knew?

COVID Blues – October 2020
We created seven brand new necklaces for the Community Arts Festival at St.James Concert Hall. They were created for the theme of COVID Blues.
We wanted to use our medium of jewellery to express how we felt about lockdown and the blues that came along with it.
Using the shade of classic blue, which was 2020’s colour of the year as our starting point, we worked from there to create these fabulous necklaces.
We have written a brand new colour theory essay to compliment the new necklaces.
COVID – BLUES
That state of not feeling quite right, but not being able to put your finger on the reason why.

Needing a dose of something incredibly vivid to shock the system into feeling itself again, to break out from the bell jar and feel alive again. Be more vivid, always a good stage direction.
