I found Tegen Jewellery during my Instagram scrolling in
2015 and was hooked by the unique designs of her rings. I love unique pieces of
jewellery and Tegen’s items are so beautiful! I’m not one for flashy or sparkly
pieces so love the earthy stones, simplistic casings and unique look. If I had
the fingers for it, I would purchase so many more!
For my first item, I purchased a commissioned piece, a ring with two stones of my own and Richards birth stone, pearl and opal. I can’t wear rings everyday due to my line of work, so it feels extra special when I get to slide the ring on!
I was always slightly worried about getting an opal as I’ve heard (and unsure whether this is correct), that opals can fall out of their setting. My stones haven’t moved an inch in the 2 years I’ve had it!
As Tegen runs her business from Truro in Cornwall, we communicated about the commission via email, with design drafts and measurements sent back and forth. When the ring arrived I was over the moon! I will treasure it for a long time!
Last December I was lucky enough to win one of Tegen’s
Instagram competitions. I was sent three sea-themed rings, one of a starfish,
one of a shell and one sand dollar. My sister and mum have one each, and I the
other. It was a lovely Christmas treat! At the moment I wear my sea shell
alongside my commissioned ring.
Tegen Jewellery doesn’t just offer rings. Her collection also
includes: necklaces, anklets, wedding accessories, bracelets and ‘treasures of
old’. I love the option to purchase each piece in various metals, making your
own more unique.
With some money left over from Christmas I decided to treat
myself to the silver mini dangle hoops. I first saw these on surfer Corinne Evans and contacted Tegen as I loved them so much. Despite them not currently being
on her collection, Tegen was kind enough to make a pair for me. I’m looking to
seeing what interchangeable dangles will be available soon. I keep these earrings
in permanently and they cause me no trouble, unlike other earrings which I find
can irritate my skin.
I hope to add to my collection of Tegen Jewellery as she creates new items.
Here are my favourite pieces from her current collection -
