Welcome to a monthly dose of inspiration from our studio straight to you. Within our team of 15 makers, there’s a fair amount of chat. We want to share what we’re talking about and what’s grabbed our attention. No selling, no jewellery talk, just things that make us smile. Here’s hoping they make you smile too.

Thrive Street, London
We are absolutely chuffed to have been selected as one of the independent brands featured at Thrive Street 2025, curated by Mary Portas. It’s an incredible opportunity for a small, soul-led business like ours and we can’t wait. Come see us at Truman Brewery, London (Ely’s Yard, Shoreditch) from the 24th - 26th October to explore pieces and soak in the buzz of London’s cutting-edge retail revival.

Tour de France: Unchained
Never thought our copywriter Rachel would be hooked on a cycling show… and yet here we are - she’s absolutely edge-of-your-seat HOOKED.  From the relentless climbs in searing heat to the intricate team dynamics and the all-or-nothing mentality of the riders, it’s a front-row seat to the physical and emotional grit behind one of sport’s most iconic events. Plus beautiful scenery of France’s most stunning backdrops, what’s not to love?!

 

Oshun Electrolyte Drinks
Nat in Customer Service put us onto this after saying she could feel and see a difference after drinking! Oshun is a concentrated electrolyte drink made with natural minerals and botanicals. Think hydration meets ritual, with beautiful branding and a clean, earthy taste. The co-founder even lives here in Braunton - hey neighbour!
Try Oshun here!

‘I Shop, Therefore I Am’, - Mary Portas
We’re huge fans of Mary Portas and her fierce, visionary thinking on retail. In her latest book ‘I Shop, Therefore I Am’, she pulls back the velvet curtain on the transformation of Harvey Nichols in the heady days of 90s Cool Britannia. It’s a wild ride through bold creativity, instinct-led leadership and the unapologetic glamour of the era, told with Mary’s trademark wit and steel. You can buy from Bookshop.org for £20.

Self Esteem - A Complicated Woman
When we need a boost, this is where we go. Fresh from her Bristol Beacon show (our Creative Designer Meg gave it a solid 10/10), Self Esteem’s latest release A Complicated Woman is equal parts cathartic, clever, and completely addictive. Rebecca Lucy Taylor fuses sharp honesty with genre-bending brilliance, tackling confidence, feminism, and everyday frustrations, but always with hooks that stick. It’s music that turns pep talks into anthems, and ordinary moments into main-character energy. Crank it up, sing it loud, and feel every word.

 

An honourable mention for our Makers Choice; with bonfire night on the horizon, Bex - our Maker - insisted we should mention considering our furry friends. White noise for cats to help drown out the fireworks is a surefire way to keep things calm.
