My work focuses on refined, timeless wedding hair and makeup, with an emphasis on calm, considered luxury and a highly personalised experience for each bride.

Designed in Wales and ethically handcrafted using recycled silver and gold vermeil, each piece is rooted in symbolism, texture and emotional meaning. Founder Claire Hill, a former journalist and award-winning TV producer, brings her storytelling background beautifully to the work, creating pieces inspired by the written word, hidden messages and modern talismans. At the heart of the brand is the trademarked Shorthand Coin Necklace, which transforms Teeline shorthand into discreet, reversible jewellery. One side features a hidden symbol, while the other showcases a lapis North Star, representing direction, intent and self-belief. Alongside it sits the Connector Collection, a concept that rethinks how jewellery is worn, layered and fastened, alongside modern pearls, nature-led gemstone pieces and refined architectural designs.
