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.

Turquoise

One of the oldest and most sacred gemstones in the world, Turquoise has been treasured for over five thousand years. Its vivid sky blue and blue-green tones, often threaded with natural matrix veining, have made it a symbol of protection, wisdom and good fortune across Native American, Egyptian, Persian and Tibetan cultures alike.

At Rachel Hartley Atelier, each Turquoise piece is chosen for the vibrancy and character of its natural colour and veining, crafted to honour the rich heritage and timeless beauty of this extraordinary stone.

Associated with the Throat and Third Eye chakras, Turquoise is said to promote clear communication, intuition and spiritual attunement, a stone of protection, truth and the kind of beauty that has captivated humanity for millennia.
