The pieces we choose to wear every day often become part of our story without us even realising it.
These are some of the most personal pieces in my jewellery box. Each one was designed during a different chapter of my life and came to represent something deeply meaningful to me over time. Some symbolise love, others transformation, family, or memory.
As a jewellery designer, I spend my days creating personal pieces for others, but the jewellery I hold closest carries my own story too. Together, these pieces remind me that jewellery is never only about adornment. At its best, it becomes something we live in, grow with, and eventually pass on.
For Christmas 2021, I created my Duet ring.
I had acquired the heart-shaped emerald during a trade show a few years prior and kept it aside for some time, unsure of what it would become. For Christmas, my husband graciously wanted to gift me a piece with meaning and asked me to design something for myself, something that would symbolise us.
I paired it with a heart-shaped diamond. The emerald, our shared birthstone, and the diamond, a symbol of love.
As always, it was made in 18k gold, designed to endure. Over time, it has become part of my wedding stack, layered naturally with my wedding band. It’s the piece I return to most often, without thinking.
My Signature Three Stone ring came two years later, in a very different moment of my life.I designed it as a gift to myself when I became a mother, a year that shifted everything.
I was drawn to a three stone concept for what it represents: past, present, and future. Not in a literal sense, but as a reflection of transition and of becoming.
The piece itself is substantial. Solid gold, weighty, quietly assertive. Made with fancy coloured natural diamonds.Since then, I’ve created many variations of it for clients, each one personal in its own way.
I often wear it alongside my Glimmer Signet ring, one of my most recognisable designs. Together, they feel balanced. Strength and expression, side by side.
The piece I’ve worn the longest is my shield-cut diamond pinky ring.
The centre diamond is a family heirloom, passed down from my mother and later reset. The shape of the diamond feels symbolic to me.
I chose to wear it on my pinky, something bold, slightly unexpected. There’s a contrast to it. It’s delicate, but it doesn’t go unnoticed.
I’ve worn it almost every day for the past seven years. At this point, it feels less like something I put on, and more like something that’s simply part of me.
The jewellery we collect over time becomes far more than decoration. It carries moments, emotions, people, and chapters of our lives we want to hold onto. When thoughtfully made, these pieces have the ability to stay with us for generations, eventually becoming part of someone else’s story too.
That has always been the kind of jewellery I want to create, pieces with meaning, permanence, and emotion behind them.
I wanted to share these personal pieces not only as part of my own story, but in the hope that they inspire you to create your own future heirlooms; pieces that feel entirely personal to you and may one day be passed on to the people you love most.
