Classes accommodate up to six people, ensuring individual attention for both daytime and evening sessions.
Personalised Necklaces
We create bespoke necklaces with hand-stamped messages and custom designs. Our artisans craft pieces using sterling silver and gold-plated materials, incorporating natural elements like locally sourced cockle shells for meaningful keepsakes.
Bespoke Bangle Design
Our bespoke bangle service offers tailored designs with hammered textures and gemstone accents. Customers can choose from standard sizes or request custom measurements for unique, wearable art pieces.
Cockle Shell Jewellery
Inspired by our seaside location, we craft distinctive jewellery using real cockle shells cast in silver. These pieces capture natural textures and forms, creating wearable coastal art that preserves seaside memories.
Labradorite Pieces
We design labradorite jewellery showcasing this stone's iridescent qualities. Each piece highlights the gemstone's natural beauty through careful setting in gold-plated or silver frameworks for everyday and special occasion wear.
