Into the Heart of Yorkshire

December 04, 2023 3 min read

The outstanding Heart of Yorkshire Collection is a testament to our commitment to creating timeless and elegant jewellery inspired by the rich heritage of the Yorkshire region. This collection seamlessly marries exceptional quality with contemporary design, resulting in pieces that evoke both a sense of history and modern sophistication. Each piece is not merely jewellery but a wearable piece of Yorkshire's rich history and culture.

Rising majestically above the enchanting cityscape of York, the breathtaking Great West Window of York Minster unveils an intricate heart motif, meticulously carved by skilled master masons over eight centuries ago. Visitors to the city today flock to admire this focal point of the entrance to the world-famous cathedral.

Crafted in homage to the timeless beauty of the Great West Window, our Heart of Yorkshire collection pays tribute to the medieval artistry of stained glass and the delicate stonework tracery that has graced the city of York for eight centuries. The jewellery collection has been created to capture the timeless spirit and romance of the stonework craftmanship and the romantic folklore surrounding it.

Each piece in the Heart of Yorkshire Collection is meticulously crafted using high-quality materials. Sterling silver, often used as a canvas for intricate detailing, forms the foundation of the collection. Some silver pieces also incorporate gold vermeil accents, adding warmth and luxury to the designs.

In this beautiful pendant the heart design is overlaid onto polished Abalone to give the look of the ancient stained glass that can be seen in the famous window. Abalone is a blue-green form of mother of pearl, with individual swirls and patterns that make each piece truly unique. This piece retails for £85
