Who we are

Based in Sheffield, everything is designed and made by me, Jess, in my home studio. I have made jewellery and accessories for a number of years and always enjoy experimenting with different materials. I bought a batch of leather off cuts a few years ago and immediately loved the fact I could make larger earrings that were lightweight and comfortable to wear.

All the leather is reused or off cuts. As well as reducing waste, it’s exciting not quite knowing what colours will arrive in each batch and it means that there will regularly be new designs and only a limited number of each piece.

I have always had a huge love of colour, and am often drawn towards unusual combinations. Some of my designs are quite minimal, others less so, but all utilise a variety of simple shapes in contrasting colours and complementary tones. There are often one-off pieces for sale and I also do bespoke pieces.
