I am sorry it has been so long and I am sure those of you who follow me on social media are aware but the last couple of months have not been so good. My husband is currently dealing with a difficult diagnosis and has had to have some major surgery and I am focusing on supporting him through this time. Alongside this I am also struggling with some health issues. I have therefore taken the difficult decision to pause my jewellery classes for the forseeable future. This was not

It’s that wonderful time of year again – the fairy lights are twinkling, the smell of mulled wine is in the air, and my workshop is a hive of activity as I finish off the last few pieces ready for the festive markets! I absolutely love this time of year – it’s busy, yes, but there’s something so magical about seeing people wandering around Christmas markets, wrapped up in scarves and gloves, clutching hot chocolates while they browse for special handmade gifts. This Christmas

Over the next few days, Hare & Moon Jewellery will be taking a short pause. From 1st January 2026 my website will be closed for five days while I review prices, stock levels, and how I move the business forward into 2026. I wanted to take a moment to explain why I’m doing this, what it means for you as a customer, and what’s coming next. This isn’t a dramatic reset or a goodbye — more of a quiet, practical recalibration. Why I’m Closing the Website Briefly Running a small, ha

It’s officially Christmas shopping season — twinkly lights, cosy evenings, and that yearly question: what do I buy everyone this year? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I’ve put together a Christmas Gift Guide filled with handmade silver jewellery that makes for truly unique Christmas gifts. Each piece is designed and crafted by hand, meaning no two items are ever exactly the same — perfect for when you want to give something that feels personal and special. Whether you’re

So I think Christmas shopping may well and truly be underway for most people. Where can you find me over the next few weeks? Thursday 14th November 6.30pm to 8pm - Westgate Galleria in Westgate - its late night opening and I will be there with my jewellery in the Galleria. It will be lovely to see you so come along and say hi. Sunday 27th November 11-4 pm at The Umbrella Centre in Whitstable for their monthly Makers Market. Saturday 30th November 10-5 at Ideal Home Christmas

Someone posted on Instagram today about prices of handmade jewellery and it got me thinking. I know I have posted about this before but it is always worth saying it again. Why should you buy handmade? "Its so expensive". "I can buy it cheaper off Amazon / Temu / Aliexpress". Let me explain why you should consider handmade. Handmade jewellery stands as a symbol of craftsmanship, individuality and sustainability. Handmade pieces offer a depth of meaning and quality that mass pr

Ok before I start I need you to know this isn't for sympathy or to make you all feel sorry for me - this is a useful tool for me to get thoughts down and I have decided to share as it is useful for you to see what goes through my head regularly 😬 I have come into a small amount of money - unexpectedly. Not a lot but enough to buy a couple of big things I have had on a list for a while such as a rolling mill and a bigger torch. I went to my computer this morning to order them

Join Our Keum Boo Workshop So, I have finally got my act together and sorted out another workshop for those of you who want to try your hand at making your own jewellery. I have just added a Keum Boo workshop to my classes. This ancient Korean technique bonds 24K gold foil to silver using heat and pressure. It's a brilliant way to add some luxury to your jewellery. Whoever said you shouldn't mix your metals was so wrong. Look how gorgeous these are together! So simple but so

Elegant silver circle earrings with dangly chain design, perfect for a stylish and modern look. There’s something about the shift into autumn that always feels like a little reset. The mornings are crisp, the evenings draw in earlier, and suddenly I find myself reaching for cosy jumpers, hot cups of tea, candles dotted all around the house and my warm, cosy 10 tog duvet. Autumn has always been my favourite season – not just for the golden leaves and the damp, misty mornings,

Happy New Year! 🎉 If you’re reading this, I want to start by apologising for my radio silence over the last 6 or 7 weeks. Picture me back in September, tossing my "metaphorical" mortarboard hat in the air after finishing my silver metal clay diploma. I was brimming with excitement, eager to embrace the potential that lay ahead but I launched straight into Christmas preparations, which swept me off my feet faster than you can say "craft fair." Christmas market prep felt like

After much thought and reflection, I’ve decided to take a break from offering silver clay workshops. While it’s been a wonderful experience teaching and sharing this amazing substance I’ve noticed that the demand for these workshops has slowed down. Rather than seeing this as a setback, I’m embracing it as an opportunity to refocus my creative energy. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be dedicating more time to my passion for jewellery design! This shift will allow me to expl

As the festive season approaches, I wanted to take a moment to share how I’m getting ready for Christmas and what you can expect from my jewellery collection this year. It’s an exciting time filled with creativity, joy, and a touch of magic, and I can’t wait to bring you beautiful pieces that you can buy as gifts or treats for yourself for those Christams parties and get togethers. Finding the perfect gift can be a challenge, but I’m here to help! Whether you’re shopping for

New Collection Launch — 20th October at 7pm I’m so excited to share that my new jewellery collection will be launching on Monday 20th October at 7pm. This one feels really special — it includes some brand-new ammonite jewellery requested by so many of my customers as well as fresh pieces joining my Come Full Circle Collection. Each design has been lovingly handcrafted in my Margate studio, using recycled silver and silver metal clay and inspired by the beauty of nature. The a

Ok I know it's not autumn and forgive me for talking about something we think of more later in the year but I have to share this with you all. I talked earlier in the year about taking some time for me. This year, I wanted to develop my silver clay skills further and consolidate what I learned in the silver metal clay diploma I completed last year. An Inspiring Weekend at the Silver Clay Academy Last weekend, I spent three days with Emma Roy at her fabulous Silver Clay Academ
