“Drows'd with the fume of poppies” 
- To Autumn by Keats

Wild Poppy Statement Necklace, £225; part of a numbered edition of 50

A poem that captures the reflective calm of the harvest season, where a harvester is lulled into a daze by the aroma of wild poppies, our series of 3D floral jewellery for autumn reimagines the words of English Romantic poet John Keats’ 1819 verse. 

Wild Poppy Small Necklace, £75 and Wild Poppy Earrings, £50

“Fill all fruit with ripeness to the core”
- To Autumn by Keats

Sweet Pear Necklace, £98

Sweetening in the same stanzas: our tactile Sweet Pear Necklace, reimagined in hand-curved acrylic, delicately detailed to feel like the real thing, is also picked from ‘To Autumn’. Limning ripening fruits as ‘close-bosomed’ friends ‘of the maturing sun’, highlighting the wonder of the autumn sun bringing nature’s harvest to its peak; this delicate fruit necklace radiates as sunlight hits its frosted acrylic.  

“Oh, for a bee’s experience” 
- The Bee by Emily Dickinson

Glistening Honeycomb Necklace, £75

Picture the natural world, nobly: accessorise with honey and gold in our Glistening Bee jewellery. Celebrating the humble honeybee, Emily Dickinson portrays banded insects as armoured knights with helmets of gold. With geometric statement necklaces and delicate drops of pearls swinging from whimsical bee earrings, pair these homages to the natural world with muted stripes.

“Continuous as the stars that shine” 
- I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth

Autumn Star Necklace, £85 and Autumn Star Earrings, £50

A poem that celebrates the healing powers of nature: celestial stanzas of Wordsworth’s ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’ compare how the memories of golden blooms stay bright in his mind like stars.

“Nature is fond, I sometimes think, Of Trinkets, as a Girl” 
- A Moth the hue of this by Emily Dickinson

Midnight Moth Necklace, £58

Ever compared your love of carefully curated jewellery to nature’s penchant for picture-perfect creations? In ‘A Moth the hue of this’, Emily Dickinson compares nature’s wonders to a young girl (or jewellery collector) who is fond of shiny trinkets, focusing on delicate patterns of fluttering moths. Hand-crafted patterns meet pearlescent acrylic in our sparkling insect jewellery that’s designed to start conversations.
