Thorn & Claw Jewellery
There is a wilder part of you that still remembers.
Thorn & Claw invites you to return to it, through handcrafted jewellery that honours nature, folklore, and the ancient ritual of adornment.
Wear your story. Honour your myth.
Jewellery is one of the oldest human artefacts. Long before it became an accessory, we wore objects to mark identity, allegiance, protection, status and remembrance. From prehistoric grave goods to heirlooms passed down through generations, adornment has always marked who we are, where we belong, and what we honour.
Thorn & Claw belongs to that lineage.
Each talisman is handcrafted in my Dorset studio using ethically sourced silver and wild-found relics like claw, thorn, and tooth. These are symbolic pieces designed to hold myth, and be worn with meaning.
For those who never forgot.
This is jewellery for those who move through the world with a silent strength. Those who feel the turning of the seasons in their bones. Each piece is made to be worn with intention. To mark a passage, to honour a memory, or become personal armour.
They become anchors and invocations; threads back to the wilder self you’ve never truly lost.
Worn daily or reserved for moments of ritual, each talisman carries its meaning against the body. You are myth made flesh.
Crafted with reverence. Rooted in the wilds.
My designs are guided by wild beauty. Textures shaped by time, edges left intact.
I work with ethical materials and cast directly from nature’s own relics: the curve of a claw, the twist of blackthorn... every dangerous promise is kept in silver.
Each piece is made slowly and built to last: an artefact of connection between wearer and world.

“I started crafting jewellery because I needed something I could wear like a ritual, not just for how it looked, but for how it made me feel.”
Before I became a jewellery designer, I worked in wildlife conservation across Dorset. I spent my days on windswept coasts, among long barrows and holloways, surrounded by landscapes shaped by wildlife, weather and the people who had moved through them long before me.
Thorn & Claw grew from a fascination with wild places, folklore and the objects humans have always worn to carry meaning.
I believe jewellery should mean something. That it can be powerful and deeply personal. That the old ways still speak.
I craft every piece with that same reverence.
Begin here. If something calls to you, follow it.
