About Me
I'm Melissa & i've been a jewellery designer and maker for over 10 years. I thought you might like to know a bit more about who's behind the jewellery.
Growing up dyslexic meant i had a hard time at school, so i've always turned to nature and the outdoors for peace and escape. And can usually be found collecting rocks, sticks, watching bugs or running the trails of our beautiful countryside. Exploring our magical and ancient landscapes never fails to inspire me, wether it's an ancient oak tree laden with lichens, A vast mountainous valley in Scotland or a tiny trickling welsh brook. They each have their own spirit and story to tell, wether it be folklore or your own.
I started making jewellery in 2014 and create bespoke fine jewellery using recycled silver and gold, precious & semi precious gemstones and use a variety of methods to create my pieces. Such as lost wax casting, sand casting, enamelling and stone setting. I love using stones that have a little more character and their own unique qualities which really connect themselves to the wearer.
I offer a range of made to order designs, one off pieces and bespoke designs made just for you. Ranging from nature inspired engagement rings, pendants to mark a special occasion, or memorial pieces containing your loved ones ashes.

Our Jewellery
Each of our jewels is delicately handcrafted by Melissa in her workshop In the North West of England, using the ancient art of lost wax casting and the exciting and updredictable sand casting technique. Each and every piece is handmade to order with its own unique qualities using 100% Recycled Silver and Gold. Taking inspiration from mythology and the natural world Melissa creates tactile and intricate jewellery encrusted in lichen and oceanic growths that appear to have been buried and taken over by nature.
