'I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.'
A small Victorian-esque brooch etched with a polite request to leave you alone. You're busy. You have tomes to write and books to read.
This brooch is matte black, etched and painted with glow-in-the-dark pigment, because I can, and who knows you may be working or reading by torch-light.
Gorgeous necklace. As soon as a fellow poet posted a picture of herself on Insta wearing this, I had to get it. Beautiful necklace, well-made, great design, and I love that the chain has the option to fasten it at three different lengths. I wish more necklaces did this, as the length I want varies according to my outfit! I also love that Sarah is an independent artist working with her daughter, and that they support a variety of women's charities.
Perfect gift. My daughter ( who works in publishing) requested this as her Christmas present. The necklace is lovely & I think she will be very pleased with it. I worked in woman’s health for many years so I am delighted Sarah is supporting women's charities.
Like so many women I sometimes struggle with imposter syndrome, so by proudly wearing my 'wordsmith' necklace I can now tell the world that I'm a writer. I wore it out properly yesterday to two creative events and had so many comments. A couple of people even took photos! The necklace itself is quirky but chic and the length is adjustable which is perfect for wearing different necklines and it's beautifully made.

Let customers speak for us
I love this brooch. It's of the usual high quality I've come to expect from Sarah. The sparkle reminds me of the stars navigated by Princess Leia who inspired the piece. Marvellous!
I love this brooch. I was given a sticker that says " choosy worn change lives" by a client and thus is a longer lasting version.
So well made, a wonderful business with excellent ethics.
Such a beautiful piece of jewellery, I got it for my friend who is an excellent wordsmith who also dreams of writing a book so the necklace also has an inspiring element to it. She was absolutely delighted with it!
These earrings are such a statement, they are even more gorgeous in person! So lightweight to wear, and comfortable to, so you don’t have to take them out before the night is over. So many compliments on them, just a joy to wear!
Sarah is fabulous, such a great company of unique pieces. Excellent quality in all the pieces. Love the many choices of designs & colour options too.
Love it, get so many compliments! Such a lovely lightweight design, great on its own or layered with other pieces. It gets the attention it deserves. Delivery was super quick, well packaged and it looks exactly as pictured. Great to support so many worthy charities, along with a growing business.
Got to be honest and say I saw the ‘fuck yeah’ earrings after I’d had a quantity of vino and thought, fuck yeah I’m having them!! They did not disappoint. Love them and will definitely be ordering more - thank you Sarah!
These were also a present for my wife and are amazing would definitely recommend to family and friends great product and service.
