Talented Jewellery makers + giveaway

Hersey and Son

*Hersey and Son kindly provided the necklace for a giveaway. The other jewellery designers mentioned are my own recommendations

The one thing about Jewellery is the longevity it can offer, it can be not only beautiful but a very sentimental gift at the same time and one that can last for years. I still have some necklaces my mother gave me when I was 12, so that's 23yrs ago and they are still going strong. I also have pieces my friends gave me from school, which are very sentimental to me considering I no longer live in South Africa.

Jewellery is also very creative and with so many independent makers, local to the UK as well as small family-run businesses, I thought I would share a few that I really love at the moment.

Baked by Lou

Lou is a Cardiff local and the owner and creator of Baked by Lou, a really unique collection of jewellery and homewares with bold shapes and prints which are made by hand and fired in a kiln or oven. Her pieces are really fun and colourful and perfect for daily wear. She sells her jewellery on a variety of sites but mainly through her Etsy and her ceramics and homeware on Not on the High Street

Rhian Kate

Another Welsh jewellery designer, Rhian Kate was set up in 2016 by designer Rhian Morris and her delicate and intricate pieces of work and I honestly have to say I love every single piece. All of her jewellery is handmade and inspired by the solar system. A lot of her work is completely unique with no one item being the same. She uses a mixture of materials from pewter and brass to sterling silver and her jewellery feels very special without the big price tag and really is affordable with earrings starting from £15


Cosmic jewellery


Merci Maman

From the kitchen table to a team of 45, Merci Maman has grown from strength to strength since 2007, but still feels like the small family brand is started out as, from a kitchen in Fulham, London. Their pieces are all about celebrating and cherishing special moments, mainly within the family dynamic such as the birth of a child or big milestones and offer personalised gifts which honour motherhood. In 2014 Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge was spotted wearing one of their necklaces, which had been a gift from her sister after the birth of Prince George and well as you can imagine their business has been booming since. If you're looking for something special it's worth checking out their site.

Hersey and Son

Hersey and Son is now a long established family run silversmith which has been going since 1971 which still works on the basis of their ethos of creating handcrafted silver pieces made using time-home techniques. Their collection consists of well-designed and beautiful pieces for both men and women, made with longevity in mind while still being affordable. My favourite piece is the wishbone charm pendant which would make a lovely gift for someone this Christmas.
