Every so often I'm going to share a story of some of the reasons behind commission pieces I get asked to make. This story is Lindsey's as you will read a very brave lady...in her own words... I had seen Lisa’s work for some time and loved her style. We have been through a lot to have my little boy. We found ourselves in the position of having to have IVF. Sadly I lost the baby from our first cycle. We went on to be incredibly lucky to have our baby boy from our second cycle. We’d had two embryos transferred on this cycle but lost one. When our little boy was one, we tried another cycle of IVF. Sadly this didn’t work either. We had a further loss a few months after this from our fourth cycle. With IVF, people don’t really recognise these losses but I felt them and miss my babies and always wonder what they would have been like. I really wanted something to bring me comfort on a daily basis and felt jewellery may be the best thing. I’d looked at a few companies but either people weren’t willing to make something bespoke or their products and style just didn’t fit what I was looking for. I spoke with Lisa and she just ‘got’ me! Not only did she have great ideas, she also was incredibly sensitive to represent my losses in a thoughtful way. I now have the most beautiful bracelet that I can look down at every day and remember what we’ve been through, but also how lucky we are. My little boy is my ‘star’ and my lost babies my ‘wishes’. #ivf #ivfjourney #ivfcommunity #strongertogether #ivfsucsess #blaw #personalisedjewellery

Labradorite is not only a beautiful stone but it has a lovely mythology surrounding it too A little folklore around one of my favourite stones.. Labradorite – Stone Born of the Northern Lights An ancient Inuit legend tells that long ago the Northern Lights were trapped inside the rocks along the coast of Labrador Canada (where it was first discovered) One day they were found by an Inuit warrior who freed them with his spear. Sadly, the warrior couldn’t release of all the lights and so some remained imprisoned in the rocks. The rainbow coloured reflections seen in labradorite, known as labradorescence or schiller, do resemble the beauty of the Northern Lights. It is therefore not surprising that shortly after its discovery in 1770 by Moravian missionaries on Paul Island in Labrador, Canada, labradorite became a popular stone for use in Jewellery.

Midi rings! All of my simple bands can be made as midi rings. You just need to get the top part of your finger sized as you would for standard rings. Just make sure it has to wiggle off so you get a good fit. #midirings #midistackingrings #handmadeintheuk #limezestjewellery #madeinberkshire
