Values

We make feel-good jewellery that gives you a boost. Our intention is that wearing it makes you feel powerful, like putting on your armour, or a bright lipstick.
The bigger picture of creating feel-good jewellery is to be as sustainable as possible, and remain transparent in how we run the studio, to give you peace of mind about where your jewellery has come from.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from the people and suppliers we work with to the materials we use. We are the antithesis of fast fashion. Our jewellery is made to last, to be passed down as heirlooms for future generations to treasure.
We make each piece to order or in tiny batches in the UK; we don’t mass produce. There are several processes that go into the production of all JHW jewellery; Jo designs each piece in CAD, then uses wax printers and gold casters - plus stone cutters and stone setters when gems are used. Each piece is worked on by hand (before AND after being set) in our London workshop. This means production lead times are several weeks - there are no shortcuts in producing our jewellery. We’ve chosen small, UK based suppliers for ease and to minimise our carbon footprint. Read all about the materials we use in the materials section.

We strongly believe in having a happy and fulfilled team. All five members of team JHW work part time and in whatever hours suits them. We all make work work around our lives and as a result we are all very dedicated to our jobs, we love what we do and we’re happy.  Tou can find out about the JHW team here.

Everyone has different needs and commitments, we’re all human and believe that success doesn’t need to replace kindness. Which is a relief because we genuinely love what we do, we love how we work - in particular taking time to talk to our customers, helping them select exactly the right piece, and enjoying the huge privilege of being part of their story.
