About Wild.Fringe
My Story
At Wild.Fringe, every piece is hand poured, shaped or assembled by me. I create small-batch concrete home décor alongside everyday and demi-fine handmade jewellery...all made slowly, intentionally, and in limited runs.
My work is rooted in thoughtful material choices. For my homeware, I use eco-conscious concrete combined with natural pigments and oxides, creating soft, muted tones without relying on synthetic colour. The focus is on calm, considered pieces designed to live well in everyday spaces.
My jewellery is designed with wearability and longevity in mind. Each piece balances form and function, using carefully selected materials chosen for comfort, durability and finish. From lightweight, everyday styles to more considered demi-fine pieces, the aim is always the same. Jewellery that feels good to wear and becomes part of your daily rhythm.
Across both homeware and jewellery, I favour timeless forms over trends... an antidote to fast fashion and throwaway design. Whether it’s something for your home or something for your ears, my aim is simple: to bring a little beauty into everyday life, without costing the earth.
Everything is made in small batches, which means no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Subtle variations in tone, texture and finish are part of the process...proof that beauty is often found in imperfection.
Wild.Fringe began in 2023, during a big shift in my life. Where I thought one story might grow, another bloomed instead. Making became a way to reconnect with myself. What started as personal healing became a growing little corner of calm creativity and a quiet urge to leave a trace, a legacy.
Thank you for being here.

MATERIAL PROMISE
Jewellery & Homeware Materials
Whether you’re investing in a pair of earrings or choosing a piece for your home, every Wild.Fringe design starts with thoughtful material choices. I select each material for its feel, finish, longevity and integrity always with sustainability, quality and everyday wear in mind.
Jewellery Collections
My jewellery is divided into three distinct collections, each designed with intention and longevity at its core:
The Studio Collection
Handmade polymer clay earrings, designed and finished in my studio. These pieces focus on shape, texture and colour, and are paired with carefully selected findings for comfort and wearability. I use premium polymer clay for all my pieces.
The Everyday Collection
Designed for repeat wear, this collection features timeless styles made with 18k real gold-plated or 925 sterling silver plated components. These pieces are lightweight, versatile and created to fit effortlessly into everyday life.
The Legacy Collection
My demi-fine jewellery range, made for longevity and meaning. This collection includes higher-quality materials such as gold filled, gold vermeil and sterling silver finishes, chosen for their durability and refined appearance.
Across my jewellery collections, I work with a mix of 14k gold filled, 14k and 24k gold vermeil, 925 sterling silver, 18k real gold-plated components, and hypoallergenic stainless steel where required, particularly in wood or mixed-material designs.
Gold filled jewellery is a premium alternative to traditional plating, made by bonding a thick layer of real gold to a base metal, with gold making up 5% of the item’s total weight. The result is a beautifully muted gold tone and a durable, long-wearing finish that’s ideal for sensitive skin and everyday use. Looked after well, it’s timeless.
Where specific shapes or scales aren’t available in gold filled materials, I use high-quality modern gold plating, an affordable and reliable option when thoughtfully sourced. All findings are selected for their strength, comfort and tone, and are always free from lead and nickel.
You’ll find material details listed clearly with every piece, because transparency matters just as much as beauty. I want your jewellery to feel as good as it looks and to last.
Homeware
Wild Fringe homeware is crafted in small batches using designer-grade concrete and stoneware.
My concrete pieces are made using high-quality cement, coloured with natural pigments and oxides to create soft, considered tones. Each piece is hand-cast, sanded and sealed for durability, resulting in a smooth, matte finish that feels as good as it looks.
Alongside this, my stoneware collection introduces a more traditional ceramic process offering tactile, timeless forms that sit beautifully alongside my concrete designs.
Every homeware piece is made slowly and intentionally, celebrating subtle variation and the quiet beauty of raw materials.
WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE?!
While I keep a small number of pieces in stock, most Wild.Fringe items are made to order in small batches. My concrete home décor is hand-poured and requires 6-8 days to cure beautifully before dispatch. Jewellery pieces are ready to ship within 1–3 days.
Each concrete item is completely unique air bubbles, subtle voids, and slight colour variations are part of the natural charm of this material. These are not flaws; they’re part of what makes every piece one of a kind.
All homeware is sealed with a water-based sealant. However, if used to hold lotions, oils, or serums, some spotting or staining may occur over time, as concrete is naturally porous. For this reason, I’m unable to accept returns due to surface marks.
Cork pads are added to select pieces to help protect your surfaces.
