One of my favourite parts of being a jeweller is helping someone transform an idea into a piece of jewellery that will be treasured for years to come. Recently, I had the privilege of creating a very special bespoke silver necklace: a handcrafted silver cross featuring a Rose Quartz gemstone, commissioned as a 21st birthday gift for a customer's daughter. Watching a design evolve from a simple conversation into a finished piece is one of the most rewarding parts of creating c

May marked something really special for me… 12 years of Hazel’s Jewellery Shop! It honestly feels surreal looking back at how much has changed since I first started making jewellery all those years ago! What began with me creating fashion jewellery using premade charms and silver-plated materials as a hobby has evolved into something that feels so much more aligned with who I am today as well as a business that I love running alongside my day job. Nowadays, every piece be

Most people imagine gemstones being freshly mined from the earth. But there’s another way to create jewellery - by using secondhand gemstones. These pre-loved stones have already existed in the world, often as part of a piece of jewellery. By giving them a new life in fresh designs, I can create pieces that are not only beautiful, but also more sustainable and meaningful.

We often think of cleaning our jewellery as a chore, but it’s actually a simple act of care that makes a world of difference!

By keeping your pieces clean, you’re protecting the metal and gemstones from corrosion and preserving their original beauty. This means your favourite pieces will stay looking as stunning as the day you bought them & ready to el

When you receive a piece of jewellery, the experience doesn’t just begin when you open the box, it starts with how it’s packaged. At Hazel’s Jewellery Shop, I believe that beautiful jewellery shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. That’s why I’ve taken a thoughtful approach to packaging, ensuring it reflects the same care and intention as the pieces inside because it doesn't matter how sustainable the jewellery is if it's then wrapped in harmful packaging!
