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.

Amethyst is one of the most recognisable gemstones in the world.  It is a variety of quartz, formed when silicon dioxide crystallises in the presence of iron and natural irradiation over millions of years. That process is what gives amethyst its extraordinary range of tone, from the palest lavender to the richest, almost inky purple.

This piece centres on a single amethyst orb, hand-polished into a smooth sphere to draw out the stone’s natural depth and translucency. The rounded form catches light from every angle, revealing the subtle gradations of colour within.

Sterling silver accent beads punctuate the design with small, precise details that bring a cool stillness to the piece.

Finished on an 18 inch sterling silver fine curb chain, the necklace sits beautifully, a length that works well alone or as part of a layered arrangement.

Amethyst has been prized since antiquity, worn by royalty and clergy alike for its depth of colour and perceived clarity of mind. It remains one of the most enduring stones in jewellery for good reason.

Handcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier. Arrives gift-ready.
