Your stone, made into a piece
Some stones are already loved before they reach me — kept from a beach, a journey, a person. Send me yours, and I’ll frame it by hand, so you can carry it with you. The same simple practice, only the stone is your own.
a pendant
Your stone on a fine chain, worn close to the throat. The piece I’m asked for most.
earring(s)
One stone, worn alone or with another you send. A little asymmetric in its beauty.
a small set
A pendant and earrings from stones gathered together — made to belong to each other.
a keyring charm
Your stone set in a key ring charm — a small weight you carry with you every day.
stainless steel · each one the only one of its kind
Four steps, from your hand to your jewelery collection
you send me your stone
A pebble from a beach you love, a stone carried home from a walk, one you’ve kept in a drawer for years. Wrap it well and post it to me — the address comes once we’ve spoken.
we talk about the setting
I tell you, honestly, what the stone wants to be — a pendant, a single earring, a small set. We choose silver or gold fill, and a length. No rush, no hard sell.
I make it slowly
I set your stone by hand, the same way I set the ones I gather. It takes a few weeks. I send you a photo before it leaves me.
it comes home to you
Wrapped in paper and sent gently. The same stone you sent — only now it’s something you can wear close.
Not every stone wants to be worn
I set a stone by wrapping a thin edge of metal around its rim. So the best stones are smooth, rounded, and have an edge wide enough for me to work with. Here is what I look for — and what makes me hesitate.
Tumbled soft by water or time. Nothing sharp.
Thick enough at the rim for metal to wrap and hold.
Roughly 1.5–4 cm. Small enough to wear, big enough to hold.
All edges and points — there’s nothing gentle to set.
Tapers to nothing, so the metal has no purchase.
A fault line or crumbling surface won’t hold up to wear.

Stones that found their way home
A few pieces I’ve made from stones sent to me, and a word from the people who sent them.
“I sent her a pebble I’d carried home from the beach where my mother and I used to walk. It came back as a pendant I haven’t taken off since. It feels like keeping a small piece of that morning.”
“Honest from the very first message — she told me one of my two stones wouldn’t hold, and sent it back. The one she did set is perfect, and I trusted her completely because of it.”
“A stone from our honeymoon, now an earring my wife wears every day. Slow to make, and worth every quiet week of waiting.”
Questions, answered honestly
How am I supposed to know if you can work with my stone?+
If, after reading the section “What makes a good stone?”, you still have questions, don’t worry. Fill out the form at the bottom of this page and attach a photo of the stone. Within a few days, you’ll receive a response letting you know if I can create jewelry for you.
How long does it take?+
Usually three to five days from the day I receive the stone plus the delivery time (depends on your location).
How much does it cost?+
Prices start at €20. I quote a price for each order individually once I see the stone.
Can you work with sea glass or shells?+
I work with sea glass. Shells are more delicate, which makes them harder to work with. However, I'm open to suggestions and ideas—please fill out the form at the bottom of the page and include your idea in the “your message” section.
What if the stone breaks?+
I work very carefully and with love, but accidents do happen. If a stone cracks while I'm working, I'll let you know right away, and we'll decide together what to do.
How do I send the stone safely?+
Wrap the stone in a little paper or cloth, then in a padded envelope or small box. Once we’ve spoken I’ll send you the address.
