Each piece is made to order & completely unique. Working in sterling silver, Rachel uses birthstones and engraving to make pieces a true one off.
 
The idea for the 'Peas In A Pod' collection fell out of a conversation with a client looking for something unique.

“She wanted a piece of jewellery to give to a loved one that symbolised their friendship. I came up with the two peas in a pod design – two peas as the two friends using their birthstones – and after seeing it, she decided to get one for herself too, so they could both have one. The necklaces were both nearly the same but subtly different. Then another client wanted three peas using her daughters birthstones and initials for her three daughters… and so on. The collection just appeared from nowhere, all of its own accord.”

The best sellers are the Wedding anniversary 'Peas in a pods' you can choose jade or Fossilised coral stones in your two peas in a pod and have the husband & Wife's name along with the wedding date engraved on the back of the pod.

 Rachel also finds vintage silver spoons to make stunning rings.

“Spoon rings date back to the 1600s in England and represent love, responsibility and commitment. Too poor to afford a 'real' engagement ring, servants would steal a silver spoon from their master's home and have it crafted into a ring to give to the love of their life when they proposed.”

So not only does each piece of antique silver cutlery that Rachel works with have its own lineage, but the act of making jewellery from cutlery is deep in our culture too.
