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.

With its softly rounded silhouette and deep black colour, this Black Onyx puff heart pendant brings together the enduring beauty of a gemstone heart and the understated elegance of Sterling Silver. The gently curved, three-dimensional shape gives the pendant a pleasing sense of fullness, offering a distinctive alternative to a flat heart while retaining its familiar, romantic outline. Its dark colour creates a striking contrast with the silver, making this a piece that feels both expressive and easy to wear.

A Sterling Silver bail suspends the Black Onyx heart from an 18-inch Sterling Silver fine curb chain. The delicate chain complements the rounded pendant without distracting from it, allowing the gemstone to remain the focus. Together, the simple silver setting and rich black stone create a timeless combination that can be worn with a favourite everyday outfit or chosen as a finishing touch for an evening occasion.

Black Onyx has long been associated in gemstone traditions with strength, protection and grounding. Symbolically, it represents resilience, determination and the confidence to remain true to yourself. In crystal lore, it is linked with emotional steadiness and perseverance, making it a meaningful stone for those drawn to the idea of quiet inner strength. These traditional associations offer a personal way to connect with the gemstone, whether it is chosen to mark a fresh beginning, acknowledge a challenge overcome or simply serve as a reminder of your own resolve.

The heart is one of the most recognisable symbols of love, expressing affection, devotion and the connections that matter most. Its meaning can be romantic, but it can also celebrate friendship, family bonds and the kindness we extend to ourselves. Paired with Black Onyx, the heart takes on a particularly thoughtful symbolism: love with strength, tenderness with resilience, and the courage to hold close what matters.

Wear this pendant on its own to appreciate the simplicity of its shape, or pair it with other silver necklaces for a more personal, layered look. The contrast of black and silver works beautifully with a neutral wardrobe and offers a defined accent against brighter colours. Its heart motif brings sentiment to the design without losing the understated character of the piece.
