40th Birthday Jewellery
Forty earns the signature piece. 40th birthday jewellery should be one thing with real weight, chosen properly: a signet with her initials, a solid bangle, a hand-cut stone or enamel she'll be asked about. Everything here is made by hand in our London workshop in solid silver or gold, and engraved on the inside if she'd like it. Pick the kind of thing, and we'll show you five, and the one we'd choose. Prices are on every piece.

Add a date, or her initials
Almost everything here can be engraved by hand in our workshop: the date, her initials, the thing you always say to her. Hidden on the inside of a ring or bangle, or on the back of a heart or charm. From (£X, confirm) a letter. Engraved pieces can't be returned, so if you're unsure of the size, order it plain and we'll engrave it together afterwards.
The giving
Seal it inside a heart she has to break
We wrap the piece in soft cloth and seal it inside a plaster heart, hand painted in the colour you choose. To reach what's inside, she has to crack it open. (Price, confirm.)
If it isn't right, we'll fix it

Wrong size
Return the ring unworn, in its packaging with the receipt, within 14 days and we'll exchange it for the right size. (Confirm: free, or customer pays return postage.)
Wrong piece
Return it within 14 days of delivery, unworn and in its original packaging, for an exchange, credit note or refund. Engraved and bespoke pieces can't come back, so if you're unsure, gift it plain and we'll engrave it together afterwards.
