Iām Bernadette. My friends call me Be.
I design and create handmade jewellery from a small workshop in my home in Lower Holloway, North London

Why Jewellery?
Well, it fulfils two roles for me.
It is decorative
A statement piece or splash of colour
worn to compliment an outfit, reflect a mood.
Or it can be personal and more significant
I create and wear pieces that centre me and have emotional value,
a reminder of people, places, intentions.
I work with sterling silver and semi-precious stones because the connection with natural elements is important to me.
The process of turning these raw materials into jewellery is incredibly rewarding.
At my bench I am in my happy place.
Each item is made with love and care.
No two hand-crafted items can be absolutely identical.
When you choose one, it is uniquely yours.
