Silver jewellery, with its gleaming luster or high shine looses some of its brilliance over time due to tarnishing. Not to worry though! You can easily restore your pieces to their former glory with a bit of care and cleaning. Recognising Tarnish and its Causes 🔍 Tarnish begins as a subtle greying and dullness on your sterling silver pieces (marked .925). It may even make your jewellery appear dirty. This tarnish is a reaction of the small percentage of alloy (usually copper

When it comes to appreciating the elegance and allure of silver jewellery, we often marvel at the intricate designs and the sparkle it adds to our attire.

Jewellery is not a nessecity item, let's face it if we had to we could live without it! But I know that in other ways it is! As it's a way to share love, a story or friendship, it's a way to express ourselves or it can give us courage (just to name a few!!!) Because of this it's important to me that my jewellery does not contribute to fast fashion but will last, be enjoyed for a very long time & for it to be passed down through the generations of a family collecting stories a

In 2014 I began making jewellery using silver plated charms & acrylic beads. I loved the creativity, the making process & having something to show for it after. I even wore a bracelet that I made to my wedding! But after a while my creativity out grew the charms that were available so in 2017 I dabbled with polymer clay. Polymer clay gave me complete freedom as I started with an idea & a ball of clay! But I began to have reservations about using silver plated materials, as on

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time but it can be easily cleaned off to make your jewellery look good as new. For best results clean your jewellery as soon as it starts to show some tarnish (go a slight grey colour, dull or even look dirty). Why does it tarnish? Sterling silver .925 is an alloyed metal which means it has a small percentage of another metal (usually copper) mixed in with the silver to make it a harder metal. This small percentage of other metal reac

Being ethical & sustainable can mean so many different things to different people, so I thought I would talk about what they mean to me & how I incorporate it into my business. For me buying ethically sourced materials is super important, as its where Hazel's Jewellery Shop designs begin life. 💜 I buy most of my supplies from UK sellers (mostly small businesses) to help limit the fuel it takes to get the supplies from the supplier to me. Plus its a bonus as I love supporting

Hi, I’m Hazel, the maker behind Hazel’s Jewellery Shop. I began making jewellery in 2014 after struggling to find pieces that truly complemented my unique bridal style. What started as a personal creative outlet quickly grew into something much more meaningful. Alongside running my jewellery business, I work part-time as a Healthcare Assistant in an SEN school, a role I find incredibly rewarding. I’m also very lucky to live near Bournemouth beach with my supportive husband, O

For a long time, my jewellery business looked very different to how it does today. For around six years, I created fashion jewellery and enjoyed consistent sales. On the surface, there was no obvious reason to change. But creatively, I began to feel restricted, hated the amount of waste the techniques and materials caused & the thought of the jewellery not lasting longer than a few years didn't sit well with me. While I loved working with beads, polymer clay, and resin, it sl
