5 out of 5 starsClaire did an amazing job of creating our wedding rings out of the panorama of the mountains where we were to get married. The result was absolutely amazing and so fantastic to have a memory of the place every time we look at our hands. It was easy to work with Claire who made sure we would be happy with the result and did the work in a short timeframe. 100% would recommend

I'm at my best when I am being creative, whether that is in my day job or making jewellery, or simply finding better ways to make it through the month! I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world!

The Name..
I'm a Virgo even though I don't follow astrology I love astronomy. Spica is the brightest star in the Virgo constellation but there is already a jewellery line in Italy called that, so Vir 109 is a fairly bright star in the constellation and it is where the lady's feet are. I quite liked that.
Virgo isn't any particular goddess either, she has been associated with Diana, Aphrodite, Ostara amongst others, that was another plus, a sort of universal goddess figure..my kind of gal!
I enjoy the sparkle and individual pattern of natural inclusions as well as the perfection of AAA cut stones and you can be sure that I hand pick the very best stones for each individual design. I make jewellery in a wide range of styles and for every occasion and my work is constantly evolving.
I am happy to shorten or lengthen chains or bracelets where the design allows. Each piece of jewellery is a one off design that is difficult to re-create, however, if you have particular request please convo me and I will be happy to make you a piece of jewellery just for you.

Uk orders will be sent by Special Delivery if the item is over £50 or standard First Class if the item is under £50. Overseas orders over £50 will be sent by Airsure which is tracked but not signed for.

Overseas orders under £50 in value will be sent standard first class airmail.
Items will be sent as quickly as possible, sadly, at the moment, I am only able to get to the Post Office on Fridays and Saturdays. Although occasionally I may be able to get there mid week if your item is urgent please let me know by message and I will do my best to get it to you on time.
My jewellery is sent very securely packaged, it is important to me that your purchase reaches you in the condition it left me. I will always get a certificate of posting and although I cannot be held responsible for any items lost or damaged though no fault of my own in the post, I am happy to discuss any problems in order to reach an acceptable outcome for both paties. Insurance and/or an upgrade in shipping is available at extra cost on request. If you require full cover, please contact me to arrange for this.
