The company creates precious fine jewellery using natural objects such as twigs and leaves. The creative director, Bethan Jarvis, tells us more: “I have been a jeweller for 14 years and during the lockdown, I completed an MA Professional Art Practitioner (Jewellery) where I received a distinction. I was also selected to participate in the Goldsmith’s Getting Started Online Course, which took me on the journey to re-brand as a fine jewellery company. “I make wedding jewellery that includes alternative engagement and wedding rings, based on people’s favourite tree, the ring is made from a twig collected by the couple from their favourite location that is then cast in silver and gold and set with sapphires and diamonds. We are also able to make wedding bands from the tree bark and bridesmaids jewellery to match, using either small leaves collected from the wedding venue or using the couple’s favourite leaf.” Head over to www.jarvisandcojewellery.com for more information.
