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.

Tourmaline

Few gemstones can rival the extraordinary colour range of Tourmaline. From deep watermelon pinks and vivid greens to rich blacks and electric blues, Tourmaline is one of the most diverse and visually spectacular gemstones in the world, with each variety carrying its own distinct character and energy.

At Rachel Hartley Atelier, each Tourmaline piece is chosen for the vibrancy and individuality of its colour, crafted to celebrate the remarkable natural spectrum this stone has to offer.

Associated with multiple chakras depending on its colour, Tourmaline is said to offer protection, balance and a deep connection to the earth, a stone as varied in its gifts as it is in its beauty.
