Our Story

Living in New Zealand — surrounded by dramatic landscapes, wild coastlines, and a slower pace of life — sparked my fascination with the natural world: the quiet magic of gemstones, the soft glow of freshwater pearls, the beauty in things shaped by nature over time.

This is how Thread & Touch Jewellery began. I handcraft and thoughtfully curate each piece, inspired by the small joys of everyday life. A cluster of grapes. A pea pod. These ordinary moments, held in natural stone and pearl, are gentle reminders to notice the beauty around us.

Wearing something real — something from the earth — can ground you and remind you of what matters. That's what I hope every Thread & Touch piece carries with it.

Each piece is handmade using natural materials, so slight variations in colour, shape and texture are part of its story — proof that no two pieces are ever quite the same.
