Keeping Memories Close, Always Isn't it just marvellous, how some of the most precious moments in life aren't grand, earth-shattering events, but those quiet, personal ones? I often think about the little things we cling to, like a child's first scrawl, a beloved pet's paw print pressed into clay, or even the smudged fingerprint left on a windowpane. There's a yearning within us, isn't there, to hold onto those fleeting memories, to keep a tangible piece of someone or something utterly dear, right next to our hearts? We see it all the time, particularly with gifts for life's big celebrations, ...

A Ballgame, A Promise, and the Shine of Something Real You know, some days, the world outside just melts away when you're lost in the rhythm of the workshop. The gentle hum of the polishing machine, the precise tap-tap-tap of a hammer on metal, the glint of a piece catching the light just so. It’s a bit like being in a different dimension, isn't it? One where every curve and every line tells a story. I was thinking about this the other day, whilst meticulously shaping what would eventually become a truly special White Gold Flat Wedding Band, contemplating how each piece, no matter its material...

It is such a lovely, warm rush, is it not? A real honour, really. You get to be part of all the giggles, the planning, the 'something borrowed, something blue' discussions, and you are there right at the altar, beaming with pride.

A Little Something Special for Your Finger, Eh? You know, there’s a feeling you get when you stumble upon something truly lovely, something that just speaks to you. It’s a bit like finding that perfectly aged bottle of bubbly or spotting a robin on a frosty morning – a quiet, happy moment. For me, these moments often involve looking at the jewellery that people wear, the little stories hanging around necks, sparkling on wrists, or catching the light on a finger. Each piece holds a fragment of someone’s journey, a memory, a sentiment etched into metal. It’s what we live for here, really, creati...

That Warm Fuzzy Feeling: Where It All Begins You know that feeling, don't you? That little shiver of excitement when you come across something truly special, something that just speaks to you.

Here at The Handmade, we get that feeling all the time, especially when we are thinking about new creations, pieces that will one day carry stories of their own. There is a real magic in taking raw materials and transforming them into something that holds deep pers...

A Little Piece of Home, Warmly Held There is something truly wonderful, don't you think, about carrying a little piece of a place that holds your heart, right there with you, close to where it matters most?

It's why we pour so much of ourselves into every single piece we create here, crafting not just jewellery, but tiny little vessels for big, important stories. We get so many lovely requests for items th...
