Palladium Art Nouveau Style Ring with Tanzanite & Tourmaline Stones
“I approached Rachel to commission a ring for my partner, not really knowing exactly what I wanted.
Rachel worked closely with me to provide several options at a range of budgets, and then continued to refine the design as the beautiful ring emerged.
The craftsmanship is exceptional and both my partner and I are delighted with the results. Rachel’s open-minded help and advice along the way ensured the perfect outcome. Thanks!”

Palladium Hydrangea & Cherry Blossom Wedding Ring
“Deciding to have something as special as a wedding ring made especially for you is quite daunting but after my initial meeting with Rachel I felt immediately at ease.
Rachel was excellent in keeping me updated throughout the entire process. She responded quickly to all my emails and questions about the initial designs and after being sent a range of drawings I finally decided on a design which Rachel put together using all my favourite elements from her sketches.
I didn’t want a colourful piece but since my favourite colour is purple I wanted that to be included somewhere. The ideas for the blossoms and hydrangea design was an easy choice for they are two of my favourites; hydrangeas being one of our wedding flowers.
The finished piece is wonderful. At the beginning, it is difficult to imagine a pencil drawing coming to life but I am delighted with the result. Rachel’s initial vision and the intricate detail of the completed ring is everything I wanted and I can’t wait to wear it every day!”

18ct Golden Hare Necklace
“I have been attracted to the Kit Williams/golden hare story since it first came to the publics’ attention…
I wanted to have a piece of jewellery made for Rosey and my motivation for this coincided with the 30th anniversary of the publication of the Kit William’s book – so the two ideas came together, a piece of jewellery modelled on the original hare.
Conducting the design process via email and telephone worked perfectly well, thanks to Rachel’s fantastic (and accurate) illustrations and her reliable communication and honesty.
On first sight of the hare: Rosey was very surprised at the size of the piece and it’s impact. It was larger than she anticipated. She was struck by the intracacy and detail. It is beautiful. Rosey particularly likes the way that the hare has been cut and the setting of the jewells. She really enjoys wearing the hare as people are very interested in looking at it. She feels spoilt (I am pleased she does).
I think that the hare has exceeded all my expectations. I knew it would be good. It is actually fantastic.”

Palladium Swallow Wedding Ring with Precious Stones
“It’s a big decision choosing Jewellery and none more so than for a wedding ring. I had looked around for something unique and still felt there was something more out there. When I spoke to Rachel everything fell in to place.
I talked about a design with swallows and then she showed me some art pages in a book to spark the imagination and so that we both knew what style I did and didn’t like.
I had given Rachel a bit of a deadline – as I had left it a little late to buy the ring – She gave me the time I need straight away and she was even able to make the ring completely by hand so that everything was ready in time for my wedding.
I must admit I wondered if I had took a risk buying a ring I had only seen on paper, but Rachel Helen put her heart in to the piece and I know there was some real creative energy that went in to my ring to make it completely unique and just for me – The resulting piece was everything I wanted.”

“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the bespoke Cat/Initials necklace for my wife’s Christmas present. It’s almost as if you read my mind, if my mind were as artistic as yours! She absolutely adores it and wears it every day. I’m going to recommend you to all my friends who are in need of some brownie points!”

Sterling Silver Horse Necklace
“I loved the design of the necklace. I have horses but never usually buy anything with horses on as the design is usually very traditional and not really my taste, but the stylised finish of this necklace is beautifully original and I wear it continuously.”

Hadrian says:
“Rachel was really good, I gave her some colours and styles and she came up with lots of ideas and showed me what worked together. The final necklace was fantastic – just what I wanted! I’d definitely say it’s the best gift I’ve ever given.”
Christine says:
“The necklace Rachel created for my wedding day was stunning. She’d really understood the style of the day and put some beautiful vintage pieces together. Hadrian even commented how well the blue gems set off my eyes – how romantic!”

Sterling Silver Paw Ring
“Having a piece of jewellery designed and made especially for me taking into account my likes and personality was fantastic and resulted in owning my own unique extension of myself. Nothing could come close to my jewellery designed by Rachel, and I’m now looking forward to helping to design a piece for myself. I can’t wait! It’s so exciting knowing it’s something special and unique for myself!”
