Custom heirlooms · Made in Perth

Their handwriting, held close.

The first way they wrote their own name, kept as-is: the spacing, the wobbly letters, the first-time marks. We only join the letters enough to cast them as one piece, and add a small loop at each end so the chain is part of the name.

Explore the piece

Sophie’s original handwriting is shown with a concept visualisation, not a manufactured product photograph. Your proof is made from your own submitted handwriting.

From paper to metal

You stay in control before the irreversible part.

Custom jewellery should not feel mysterious. You see the shape, request changes and approve the proof before we cast.

  1. 01

    Send the handwriting

    Photograph the handwritten name in natural light. A clear phone photo is enough.

  2. 02

    See the proof

    We trace the original mark, add depth behind it and send an overlay proof for approval.

  3. 03

    Approve or refine

    Two proof revisions are included. Nothing enters the casting process before you agree.

  4. 04

    Wear their mark

    The letters themselves are cast in solid 925 silver, linked into the chain and finished by hand.

The integrity promise

We add depth to their handwriting. We don’t redesign it.

The spacing stays theirs.

The letter shapes stay theirs.

The imperfect rhythm stays theirs.

Process visualisation

A one-person studio

The care of a signature, not the convenience of a font.

Every commission keeps two files: the untouched original and a production trace. Your proof overlays them so you can see exactly what changed.

Each piece is modelled, checked, cast and finished individually in Perth. Small irregularities are part of hand-finished metal.
