Popping the Question: The Dog Tag Proposal Story!

A Tale of Two Hearts and a Rather Grand Idea Fancy a good old chinwag about something truly special, something that makes our workshop absolutely buzz with excitement? I often find myself musing over the little stories that walk through our doors, those quiet moments when someone is dreaming up a way to tell their person just how much they mean. There was this one chap, just the other day, eyes twinkling with a mix of nerves and pure adoration, he was telling me about how he wanted to pop the question but, and here’s the kicker, his partner wasn't really a traditional ring-wearing sort. He was...

A Little Sparkle, a Lot of Soul, and Maybe a G&T! Right then, settle in with your favourite brew (or something stronger, no judgment here!), because I’ve got a tale for you today that’s all about finding that bit of magic in the everyday. It’s about a piece that, for me, really captures the spirit of so many incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of making things for over the years. You know, sometimes you’re working on something, maybe a sturdy Mens Hammered Silver Ring for someone who loves the outdoors, and you're thinking about the stories it will tell, and then something else entirely sp...

A Little Bit of Magic for Your Wrist: The Hamsa’s Grand Entrance You know, there are some mornings when the world just feels a bit… much. Maybe the tea isn’t quite right, or the cat’s decided 5 AM is the perfect time for a dramatic monologue. On days like those, a little pick-me-up, something that grounds you, can make all the difference. Sometimes, that 'something' is a delightful piece of jewellery that whispers encouragement. Thinking about personal touches, it always brings a smile to my face when I see someone confidently sporting a beautifully crafted Cursive Name Necklace, a piece that ...

A Spark from Somewhere Unexpected You know, some days I walk into the workshop, sun just streaming through the windows, and the ideas just flow like warm honey. Other days, it’s more about a little nudge, a tiny memory, a bit of sparkle catching my eye on a grey London morning. It truly is a funny old thing, inspiration. It really can hit you anywhere, can't it? For something like the Handmade gold Roman numeral necklace, you might think it came from an old history book, a visit to Rome perhaps, but sometimes it’s just a glint of light on an antique clock face, a moment of reflection on how ti...

A Little Something from the Heart: Where Ideas Blossom You know, there are some mornings when the sun streams into the workshop just right, hitting a stack of unfinished pieces, and you get this little thrill of what they’re about to become. It’s like magic, honestly, watching a raw thought, a flicker of an idea, slowly but surely take shape. Sometimes it’s about making a bold statement, like with a robust Silver Men's Ring, giving someone that sense of strength and character they carry with them every day. Other times, it's something more delicate, something that whispers a story, a connectio...

The Little Wobbly and the Big Heart Behind It All Okay, let's kick things off with a little chat about those moments, you know the ones, when life throws a wobbly. We've all been there, haven't we? One minute you're humming along, making a cup of tea, and the next, bam! A proper curveball comes flying your way. It might be a big hurdle, a personal challenge, or just one of those days where everything feels a bit... sticky. What separates those who merely muddle through from those who truly shine? Well, I reckon it often boils down to a marvellous combination, a sort of secret sauce if you like...
