Our latest jewellery collection ‘Fantasy Animals’ is inspired by some of the Earth's most threatened species. Each design is hand carved by us in wax at our Margate studio, before being brought to life by our SEDEX certified partner workshop in the Pink City of Jaipur. Most of these pieces contain semi precious stones, so we thought we'd walk you through the amazing properties these stones possess.
