Lady Midnight

Lady Midnight is handmade jewellery drawn from literature, Victorian circuses, folklore and the darker side of the imagination. Skull rings, expressive pendants, earrings and pearls with an unexpected edge.

Dark, playful and sometimes subtle. A small skull, a flash of ruby or a line from a novel can carry a story without announcing it to the whole room.

Fortune tellers, sideshows and stories

Lady Midnight began with my own tarot readings and a love of the fortune tellers and sideshows of the 1800s. That fascination with mystery and storytelling runs through the collection.

Read more about why I read tarot and love a skull in the Journal.

A ruby becomes a skull's third eye. Freshwater pearls meet silver skulls. The Warning carries a fragment of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles in the form of a silver dagger, while The Bite Ring adds a more provocative note with fired red enamel.

Explore sterling silver and gold alongside iridescent pearls, lava stone and agate. Choose a quiet detail to wear close, or a piece with a stronger presence. The meaning you bring to it is part of its story.

Materials, hallmarking, sizing and care vary by design. Check each product page for these details, availability and individual making times.
