Welcome to Rachel Hartley Atelier

I am delighted to introduce my new home for handcrafted artisan gemstone jewellery, where every piece is created with intention, craftsmanship, and an appreciation for the natural beauty of exceptional gemstones.

I’m Rachel Hartley, founder and jewellery designer of Rachel Hartley Atelier. With years of experience studying and working with the healing properties and energy of crystals, my knowledge of gemstone selection extends beyond aesthetics. Each stone is chosen not only for its beauty and individuality, but also for the qualities it is believed to embody.

Every design begins with the gemstone. I work with carefully selected stones, combining them with sterling silver, gold vermeil, and copper to create jewellery that is both timeless and deeply personal.

Each piece is handcrafted in my studio with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every creation reflects the care, skill, and intention invested in its making. This is not mass-produced jewellery. It is created slowly, one piece at a time, for those who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and meaningful design.

Quietly elegant and thoughtfully understated, this White Jade pendant celebrates the beauty of simple form. A White Jade donut is wrapped by hand with sterling silver wire, creating a delicate setting that leaves the stone at the heart of the design. The restrained wirework complements rather than overwhelms the circular shape, offering a balance of natural gemstone beauty and contemporary silver detailing.

Measuring 25mm across, excluding the bail, the jade donut has a distinctive presence without the need for elaborate embellishment. Its open centre gives the pendant a sense of space, while the white stone and sterling silver create an elegant, versatile pairing. This is a piece for those who appreciate jewellery with a quieter character, where considered details speak for themselves.

The pendant is paired with an 18 inch sterling silver paperclip chain. Its elongated links introduce a modern contrast to the rounded jade, making the chain an integral part of the design rather than simply a finishing touch. Worn on its own, the necklace creates a graceful focal point against a simple neckline; layered with other silver pieces, it brings a contrasting shape and a gentle touch of white.

In gemstone traditions, White Jade is associated with serenity, harmony and clarity. It is often chosen as a symbol of peaceful intentions, patience and a balanced outlook, making it a meaningful stone for moments of reflection or new beginnings. These are traditional and symbolic associations, inviting the wearer to give the piece their own personal meaning.

The circular donut shape adds another layer of symbolism. With no beginning or end, the circle can represent wholeness, continuity and connection. Paired with White Jade's associations with calm and harmony, it makes this pendant a thoughtful gift for someone beginning a new chapter, or a personal reminder to pause and make space for what matters.

Handcrafted and one of a kind, this necklace brings together an enduring gemstone shape, simple sterling silver wirework and the contemporary appeal of a paperclip chain. Equally at home with soft knitwear, an open collar or an elegant evening neckline, it is a piece to return to for its understated beauty and personal significance.
