There’s something quietly reassuring about the North Star.
It’s always there, holding steady while everything else moves around it, a constant in the sky, offering direction, especially when the path ahead feels uncertain. For centuries, it’s been a guide for travellers and explorers, a point to steer by in the dark. And for me, it’s come to symbolise something much closer to home: the inner compass we all carry.
That sense of intuition. The quiet knowing. The trust that even when you’re not sure what’s next, you’ll find your way.
That’s what inspired the North Star Pendant.
Behind the Design
The pendant was carved in wax by hand, with a deliberate North Star motif etched into its face. The surface holds the file marks and carving lines from the making process, giving it a natural, rugged texture that reflects life’s imperfect beauty. From there, it's either cast in Delft clay or using the lost wax method.
No two pieces are exactly the same, and that’s part of the point. It’s a quiet celebration of personal growth, change, and the phases we all go through.
The pendant is crafted in Recycled Sterling Silver, and also available in Recycled 9ct Gold, staying true to my brand’s values of sustainability and conscious making.

One customer wrote:
“I'm over the moon with my necklace, everything about it means so much to me, from it being hand crafted with my birthstone, to the reason my bestie gifted it to me. After going through a tough time, I use it as a reminder that during the dark nights, there is always a shining light which will guide me back to my heart.”

A Reflection to Hold
This pendant isn’t just jewellery. It’s a symbol of self-trust, timing, and quiet knowing, a way to hold a moment, a message, or a memory close. Whenever I wear mine, I’m reminded of something I come back to often:
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
It’s a message that sits right at the heart of this piece, that we don’t need to rush. We’re allowed to move slowly, with intention. And even when we’re not sure where we’re headed, we can trust that something within us still knows the way.
