Inspiration and Process
The starting point for these pieces was a growing interest in our local geology, coastlines, river beds and fault lines. Rocks I collected around Clevedon showed veins of minerals forcing their way through the rock into jagged channels. This collection reflects these conflicts through the contrast of shiny metal and intensely coloured marble jesmonite.
Each pieces starts as a unique drawing which is cut out by hand and assembled in my studio in Bristol. The marble jesmonite is carefully dyed to create the perfect colour for each piece and once set, carefully sanded back and the metal polished around it to reveal the design.
Details
The pendant measures 30mm x 13mm and is hung from a 24” sterling silver curb chain. The design uses a combination of dots made from round wire and holes and a channel filled with deep blue marble jesmonite with a touch of white to hint at clouds or waves. The piece is stock is the one pictured.
The pendant is made from recycled brass, creating a beautiful gold tone and being one of the most sustainable metals to work with as it is recycled again and again. The chain and jump ring are made from recycled sterling silver and are made in the UK.
Packaging and Care
Everything from Promises Promises comes hand-wrapped in bespoke packaging, perfect for giving (especially to yourself!). Each piece is wrapped in my own design tissue paper inside a branded box. A storage pouch for safekeeping and a care pack with polish pad will keep your piece looking like new.
To keep your brass piece looking shiny, store it in the pouch or box provided and polish from time to time with the pad provided. When your piece arrives, it is protected with a micro-crystalline wax which will keep it looking brand new for longer. The jesmonite section can be cleaned using a soft toothbrush, warm water and washing up liquid.

About Me
I set up Promises Promises in 2014 as a brand for the jewellery I was creating while working in London in the fashion industry. Since then I’ve been a jeweller full-time, creating innovative eco-friendly jewellery from precious metals and jesmonite, collaborating with Laphroaig, the Science Museum and the British Library and selling in shops across the world. In 2020 I moved back West, gaining new inspiration from the landscape around me. Now I create small collections of hand-made jewellery, based on the things I love and crafted in my Bristol home studio.
