Personalised Charms

By Maria Guirao, @guiraodesign 

"I fell in love with Jessica’s jewellery about 10 years ago, since which time her beautiful necklace has been a constant companion. Over the years it has grown with me and become something more. Each piece is a memory, a sign of betrothal to a person or a time that we carry around with us close to our skin. I have added my Christening medals; charms for children; something to remember my dad when he passed away; a lucky charm when I feel luck has forgotten me; charms to look after me and my loved ones. I have taken out and added new ones as life has passed. I feel I’m weaving my story and Jessica’s unmistakable necklace has allowed me to be creative and more me."

Custom Signet

By Emma O'Kelly, @emmaokelly10

"This piece was inspired by a 16th Century signet ring engraved with a lamb, that my husband bought as a gift for himself - from jewellery expert Geoffrey Munn -  when our third child was born, in celebration of the family surname - Lamb. 

"We all laughed at the idea and he reluctantly took it back. I had always felt a bit guilty about making him do this and realised that Jessica loved nothing more than hearing about jewellery stories and breathing new life into old ideas and heirlooms. She was the catalyst that made me want to recreate the ring and we are both so pleased with the final piece."

Hand-engraved Commemoration

By Victoria de Lotz

"After Dad died, I wanted a piece of jewellery to celebrate his life: one that embodied the wonderful, happy man that he was and a piece of his story, about which I could talk about, to those that didn't know him.

"I decided on a chunky signet ring, similar to one he always wore and started discussing ideas with Jessica and our graphic designer-brother Benny. I knew that their collaboration would create a piece that was unique and charming, just like dad and I'd be reminded of him when I wore it. It's like he's with me everyday."
