Fran Barnett

Here in my small Yorkshire workshop, each piece of jewellery is handcrafted using traditional silversmithing techniques, a lot of care, and many cups of tea! My aim is to create statement and everyday pieces of jewellery that not only look beautiful but also help bring a moment of peace to our busy lives, through tactile rugged textures and satisfying kinetic elements.

  • Creativity

    Creativity is at the heart of all my jewellery. I don't follow fashion trends, instead taking inspiration from nature and finding imaginative ways to recreate it in silver.

  • Sustainability

    I firmly believe that creating something beautiful should not come at the cost of the Earth. All my pieces are made with recycled sterling silver which is commonly known as eco silver. Eco silver has the same fineness and quality as sterling silver but with a fraction of the environmental impact. All Fran Barnett Jewellery packaging is recyclable too!

  • Kindness

    There can never be too much kindness in the world and I'd like to think my jewellery makes a small contribution. My kinetic pieces are designed not only to look good but also with the wellbeing of the wearer in mind. The moving parts of spinning rings provide a great outlet for nervous energy and are particularly helpful for people with anxiety, ADHD or Autism for example.

Sizing guides

Helpful measurements and terms to ensure your jewellery is the perfect fit. 

 

Necklace Length

Not sure what different necklace lengths mean? The chart below shows popular chain lengths in both centimetres and inches, and where each one sits on the body when worn. I use 45cm / 18in (often referred to as standard or princess length) in most of my pieces but I'm always happy to adapt the length for you to suit your personal style.
