Birthdays and Anniversaries
Commemorating special days
There are many ways you can commemorate special occasions with jewellery. Part of Our Essence is about ‘Capturing stories and moments in time’. This is reflected in some of our collections such as in Chronicle and Reminiscence. And it also plays a central role in the reason why we make bespokeBirthstones
Setting a piece of jewellery with a Birthstone is a simple and effective way of personalising it. There is a different stone for each month. We have listed the traditional stones here but there is also a ‘Modern’ list and USA list that has few variants.Traditional Birthstones
Commemorating with gems
If you would like your own birthstone piece of jewellery or would like to explore buying a piece for a gift please visit our Bespoke page or perhaps there is a design in one of our collections that can be customised with your birthstone such as with Stepping Stone.
Wedding Anniversary
You can commission a beautiful unique piece of jewellery for a special wedding anniversary, whether it’s for your first or for your 40th!

Here we have a traditional list of materials but there is also a modern list and a USA list with slight variations.
From about 25 years onwards there are the more typical material associated with jewellery. However we can incorporate any material into a piece of jewellery. Such as, paper from your wedding invitations set a brooch. Or silk from a wedding dress fixed into a locket.
