Narrative Memorials Jewellery

19/05/2026

As Heartstones prepares to launch, I’m starting completely from scratch with my new page — even though many of you have supported my work for years through Narrative Memorials.

If I’ve ever created a piece for you, helped guide you through the process, answered your messages at midnight, or simply made a difficult time feel a little easier, I would be incredibly grateful if you would consider leaving an honest review on the Heartstones page.

This isn’t about asking for perfect reviews or anything untrue. Genuine feedback about your experience, customer care, communication, or the quality of my work genuinely helps small artist-led businesses like mine more than people realise.

Heartstones may be a new name, but the care, craftsmanship, and person behind it remain the same ❤️

Thank you for supporting this next chapter. It means more than I can put into words.

Ahhh It’s all starting to feel a bit more real now!!

Boxes turning up.
Supplies arriving.
Little pieces coming together behind the scenes.

This has been an idea in my head for so long even while I was running … and now it’s actually happening.

I’m building something I truly believe in — slowly, carefully, and properly and to the standard your jewellery deserves.

If you’ve been following along quietly, thank you. It genuinely means more than you probably realise.

And if you don’t mind helping me get this in front of a few more people… a share, a follow, or even just sending this to someone you think would appreciate it makes a huge difference at this stage 🤍

For the past nine years I’ve been developing my skills, knowledge and understanding of jewellery making, working closely with families to create meaningful memorial pieces.

Narrative Memorials was the beginning of a wonderful journey. Through that work I discovered not only the importance of memory jewellery, but also the level of care, craftsmanship and trust that families place in the person creating it.

Now I feel ready to take the next step.

Heartstones is the next chapter — a luxury jewellery brand focused on creating heirloom pieces that preserve memory, love and connection for generations.

My goal is to open a small studio space where clients can visit in person, sit down with a cup of tea, talk through the story behind their jewellery, and see the care that goes into creating each piece.

I’ve launched a Crowdfunder to help bring that vision to life — supporting the creation of exclusive designs, professional launch materials, and a calm, welcoming consultation space.

If you would like to follow the journey, support the launch, or simply share the page, it would mean the world to me.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my work along the way. Heartstones feels like the beginning of something truly special.

Thinking of you all this mother's day ❤️

Mother’s Day can hold many different emotions.

For me it will always carry two truths — remembering the beautiful baby who made me a mother, and celebrating the joy Charlotte brings to my life today.

Emily will always be part of my story and part of my motherhood.

Today I’m thinking of everyone whose Mother’s Day feels a little heavier, a little quieter, or a little more complicated.

Sending love to all mothers today, in every form that motherhood can take. 🤍

A small shell, a quiet memory, a moment kept forever.

This piece holds a white shell collected from Saundersfoot Beach — a place filled with laughter, salty air, and the kind of memories that stay with you long after the tide goes out.

Sometimes the most meaningful treasures are the ones we simply picked up along the way.

The shell has been carefully broken down, with the tiny fragments preserved inside the Heartstone to create a piece that carries that memory forward.
Heartstones began in grief, after losing Emily and searching for a way to hold on to love that suddenly had nowhere to go. But along the way I discovered something else too — the beauty of preserving joyful moments as well.

For me, this shell brings back our first family holiday after Charlotte was born. After believing I might never have a child again, those small, happy moments by the sea meant everything.

Because some memories deserve to be worn close, not just remembered.

Narrative Memorials has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life for many years.

Through it, I have had the privilege of creating jewellery that holds ashes, hair, flowers and other precious elements — pieces that carry stories, memories and deep love. Every order entrusted to me has been something I have never taken lightly.

Many of you will also know that over the years I have faced some ongoing health challenges, and at times that has made running a busy memorial jewellery business incredibly demanding.

Because of this, I have spent a long time reflecting on how I can continue doing the work I care so deeply about, while also protecting my health and wellbeing.

That reflection has led me to the next chapter of this journey.

Narrative Memorials will gradually transition into a new brand called Heartstones.

Heartstones will allow me to focus on a smaller number of carefully created heirloom pieces, taking on limited orders so that every piece can be made slowly, thoughtfully and with the care it deserves.

The heart of the work will remain exactly the same — transforming deeply personal elements into jewellery that allows people to hold their loved ones close.

This next step simply allows the work to grow alongside my craft, while ensuring I can continue creating meaningful pieces for many years to come.

To everyone who has supported Narrative Memorials, trusted me with the memory of someone they love, or followed this journey along the way — thank you. Your kindness and support has meant more than I can ever fully express.

If you would like to follow the next chapter of this journey, I will be sharing more about it on my new page over the coming weeks.

Something new is coming. 🤍

This post feels emotional to write, because Narrative Memorials has been such a huge part of my life for so long. Every piece I’ve made has carried someone’s story, someone’s love, and I’ve poured so much of myself into that work.

Over time, I realised something important — I can’t keep creating in a way that comes at the cost of my health. When you work with something as precious as a loved one’s ashes or memories, it deserves calm hands, a clear mind, and the space to create without pressure. I want to be able to give every piece the care it truly deserves, without worrying about how pushing myself too hard might impact orders or the people trusting me with them.

So I’ve been quietly rebuilding everything behind the scenes. With the help of the local council and some fantastic organisations we have something truly special coming.

Taking everything I’ve learned through Narrative Memorials — the mistakes, the growth, the years of experience — and fine-tuning it into a new way of working. A slower, more intentional model that allows me to prioritise my wellbeing while creating more bespoke, heirloom-quality pieces that feel deeply personal and lasting.

Narrative Memorials will always be part of me. It holds so much of my heart, and this journey has always been for Emily. While I will be moving forward under a new name to reflect a new direction, Narrative Memorials isn’t disappearing — it will always exist as part of my story and the foundation of everything I create.

To my past clients: I will of course still be here for you. Repairs, polishing, and care for your Narrative Memorials pieces will always be available whenever you need them.

This isn’t me walking away.
It’s me choosing to grow in a way that feels sustainable, honest, and aligned with the heart behind what I do.

To everyone who has supported me, trusted me, and followed my journey — thank you. You’ve helped shape what comes next more than you’ll ever know.

I’m really excited to share more soon. ✨

Merry Christmas from ours to yours.

As we move into the final hours before Christmas, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the support, kindness and trust shown this year.

This time of year can be full of joy, but it can also be incredibly heavy. My thoughts are especially with anyone facing Christmas without a loved one for the first time — and for the fiftieth time. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and you are not alone 🤍

Whether you’re holding space for memories, honouring someone special, or simply getting through one moment at a time, I’m sending you so much love and gentleness this Christmas.

Thank you for being here and for allowing me to create pieces that hold such deep meaning.
✨🤍✨
