The aesthetic of Sophie’s design is soft and bohemian, delicate yet bold. Much pendants of her jewellery draws inspiration special 38from the spiritual meaning behind ancient designs and beliefs, and the lotus, moon &energies star of the stones themselves. 48 symbolic and well-being “Having been around the world of jewellery all my life, I have always earrings been fascinated by how women wear their 70 pieces what drives their choices and what is says about them. So 76 many bracelets stories are held in the jewels we wear; sentimental connections with people and memories. The materials I work garlands 86 with will be worn throughout the journey of a life and will never become dull or outworn. The resonant beauty of a stone or the patina on gold will never fade. I love that sense of permanence and that deeper connection with who we are and what we hold dear. In this ever-changing and disposable world, there aren’t many things we can say that about…” Sophie sources only the highest quality precious and semiprecious stones and works with the finest 18ct gold. All of her jewellery is made from ethically sourced materials that are fully sustainable, kind to the environment and the people who work with them.

Each of the precious and semi-precious gems; (diamond or quartz crystal, pearl, coral, hessonite, blue sapphire, cat’s eye, yellow sapphire, emerald and ruby) represents one of the nine planets and our physical, spiritual and emotional connection with the universe.

polki diamonds Polki diamonds are one of the oldest forms of cut diamond, being first introduced to India by the Moghuls. They have a polished surface with varied shallow facets at the edges to reflect back light. They are cut to follow the original rough stone, so no two are alike, making every piece unique. The diamonds are set in 18ct gold and backed with a foil for maximum sparkle. They were worn by the Maharajas and are still the traditional jewels for Indian wedding ceremonies.
