Meet Josie
Hi! Firstly, I want to thank you for taking the time to browse my website. I pour so much love into what I do, and I love connecting with like-minded people that have a shared passion for sustainability and treasures that celebrate us as individuals.
I live in Bournemouth and I adore living so close to the beach. I do miss my hometown, Frome, but I'm lucky enough to visit often. My partner and I have also welcomed a gorgeous puppy into our lives, Milo, and I'm conviced he's my soul mate.
I started my business 4 years ago because I have a deep passion for unique, and timeless jewellery that bridges the gap between sustainability and affordable luxury. I strongly believe that our jewellery reflects WHO we are in a way that words cannot describe. Jewellery is a window into our lives and has the power to transform the way we feel, which is why I believe it is so important to invest in jewellery that tells your story. We live in a world of fast fashion and impulse buying that feeds into slave labour and unethical practices. I offer you the chance to change the world, one piece of jewellery at a time. That is why I only work with sustainably sourced materials, from fully recycled silver and gold, to ethically mined stones, and with every online purchase, you plant a tree with Ecologi and protect our rainforest with One Tribe.
Working with my hands to create timeless treasures on a daily basis is such a blessing and I feel so fortunate to call this my job.
ETHOS
Craftsmanship
I believe that our jewellery is a representation of who we are and what we stand for. Through an eclectic mix of ancient and innovative techniques, I have created a signature style that will stand the test of time and celebrates our gorgeous planet through unique and perfectly imperfect textures.
Sustainability
Creating jewellery that is sustainable and has minimal impact on our planet is my passion. We are blessed with living on a gorgeous planet, and I believe the responsibility is ours to look after and care for our landscapes. By using recycled metals this takes pressure off mining for raw materials. It is also a wonderful way to re-purpose unworn jewellery into new treasures that can be passed down to future generations. I believe jewellery should be built to last and treasured for a lifetime. For this reason I choose not to gold plate any of my work due to the short lived benefits and unsustainable implications.
Supporting Small
I buy my unique and one-of-a-kind stones from small businesses and family run mines. Supporting small community's is so important and integral to fighting against the growing ethical issues and sustainability problems we are facing- especially in the jewellery industry. I will always choose to support small businesses over larger corporations as they are paving the way to a more sustainable future for our planet.
Ecologi partnership
I've partnered with Ecologi to plant a tree with every purchase! We are taking serious steps toward a sustainable future by protecting our planet and giving back to mother nature whenever possible.

Improving your mental health
My jewellery is mindfully designed to be tactile and grounding, helping to soothe anxiety and stress through organic textures that reflect our natural environment and bringing us closer to nature.
