Made with love Discover all things handmade around Hampshire and Dorset CHARLOTTE CORNELIUS Starting up her jewellery design business from her home studio when her twin daughters were toddlers, Charlotte Cornelius was on a mission to make bespoke design accessible to more people. So, she focused on specialising in individually handmade wedding and engagement rings for couples wanting a personal and creative experience. The company has evolved from there to a talented team of seven, designing and making from their boutique and workshop in the heart of Southsea! Charlotte says, “Our speciality lies in working closely with you to bring ideas to life. Whether you’re overflowing with ideas or need help, our designers will be delighted to guide and inspire you on this amazing journey.” The company is one of the few jewellery boutiques with on-site designers and a Goldsmith workshop, crafting some of the South Coast’s finest bespoke, handmade jewellery. With more than 30 years of experience, their awardwinning team ensures that each piece is designed with artistry, skill and care. Diamonds and precious gemstones are individually chosen for their beauty, fine cut, and full ethical traceability. The team is proud to be certified by Positive Luxury with the Butterfly Mark, which recognises commitment to sustainability and ethical practices and meets the highest standards of innovation within environmental and social performance. Whether designing a custom engagement ring or remodelling much-loved inherited jewellery into a new creation, the team’s mission is to bring ‘jewellery for life’ in all its meanings.

As a bride, owner Stacey Frewin understands that choosing flowers helps to tie visions together. For those looking for unique bridal flowers, why not consider cold porcelain bouquets? As a new alternative to silk or fresh flowers, cold porcelain flowers last many years and make the perfect keepsake for both couples and bridal parties. Cold porcelain, a resilient and pliable air-dry clay, is the medium through which Stacey crafts her masterpieces. Every flower is a testament to her dedication and love for her craft. The inception of Beaut Blooms in 2023 was a testament to her desire to offer a fresh perspective on wedding flowers. Working with this product allows Stacey to tailor flowers, making them petal by petal to create beautiful, realistic blooms in any colour and style. This method is perfect for those who struggle with allergies, are after something non-traditional, or are looking for flowers out of season. The supplier keeps her brides updated throughout the process with Zoom calls and emails to ensure they’re happy as the flowers are being made. These can be used for centrepieces, buttonholes, favours and bouquets. Discover the company: https://beautblooms.co.uk www.oldbakerystudio.co.uk 59 HANDMADE
